Are Nausea, Vomiting And Weight Loss Normal While On Suboxone?

Hi there,

I am currently on a suboxone program, I have been on it for just over four weeks now. I started on 8mg, over first week my doc increased my dose gradually to peak at 14mg where I stayed stabalised for 2 weeks. I have been gradually decreasing by 2mg each week & I am now currently back to 8mg. When I started the program I was day 3 into quitting opiates cold turkey so my body was a mess & I felt like crap obviously. Initially I was so happy to be on the program & I felt fantastic to be out of withdrawl & fixing the problem but, then the nausea & vomiting started, some days I feel great but mostly I am always nauseas, I have to vomit either every day or every 2nd day. I have no apetite & when I do eat, I can't eat too much or it makes me vomit, I have lost 10 - 12 kgs in the time I have been on Suboxone. While the drug is helping me to kick a very bad drug habbit, I am worrid it may be causing other problems, is this normal while on suboxone?
