I have just started Suboxone 8/2, since the fentanyl patches (150meq) were not making a difference in the severe pain that I was experiencing. I was told there was nothing else they (dr.s) could do for me. They said they could not go up on the fentanyl.

I saw 9 specialists at Emory University. Eight of the docs said there was nothing left to do and I would have to live with it. Only 1 doc, a surgeon said he could take out a portion of my brain so that I could not feel pain anymore.

I opted for the suboxone trial.

It worked better for me than the fentanyl patches. I divide my doses so that I can take the med every 4 hours around the clock.

I dont know about the rest of yall but my pain doesn't stop around 9pm.

The only thing I have noticed is that when the docs changed my bp med to lisinopril, is I become so drowsy when I take my suboxone that I fall asleep. I am afraid to drive my car when it is time for my dose.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Do you take your meds around the clock too?

If you get that drowsy, then it would be best not to drive then, to avoid any possible accidents. It would be a good idea to take it with the Lisinopril just before you are going to bed.

Suboxone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Does anyone else dose it around the clock like this?
