What Causes Water Retention In The Body While On Suboxone?

Good Evening. My question is this. Starting January 18th I have been taking 2 Suboxone strips, 8mg 2mg each. I have been doing very good from the start. Recently, I have been retaining water terribly in my whole body. Specifically, my legs, ankles, and feet. I have diabetes 2, gout, and bad circulation . Are these symptoms of the suboxone? Or could it be that I take 120mgs per day of cymbalta? I am getting very worried. Thank you
