Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Suboxone is a combination of two medications. It is associated with different potential side effects.
In terms of blood pressure ,it is normally associated with a decrease in blood pressure because it relaxes the blood vessels but everyone reacts differently to medication.
If your blood pressure is persistently increased then you need to start taking medication to treat it.
This is because untreated hypertension can cause complications.
You should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment and he or she would determine if medication is needed based on the readings.
I hope this helps
