What Are Suboxone's Side Effects?

Suboxone, like all drugs, has the potential for negative side effects. Fortunately, Suboxone side effects are rare and usually minor. Nausea, headaches, dizziness, exhaustion, insomnia, excessive perspiration, and stomach cramps are all common Suboxone side effects.

As with any new medicine, patients should avoid driving or engaging in other potentially dangerous activities until they have a better understanding of how their bodies will react. Suboxone, when taken as directed, has no effect on one's ability to do things.

Other rare side effects are

• Numbness, redness, and pain in the mouth

• headache

• dizziness

• tingling or numbness

• drowsiness

• issues with sleep (insomnia)

• stomach ache

• vomiting

• constipation

• feeling inebriated

• Having difficulty concentrating.

If you experience any of the following significant Suboxone side effects, seek medical attention immediately away:

• fainting

• if you have a fast or irregular heartbeat

• severe vertigo

• mental/emotional shifts (such as agitation, confusion, hallucinations)

• breathing that is sluggish or shallow

• drowsiness that is exceptional

• Having trouble waking up.
