i have a severe case of dystonia, i am also prescribed suboxone n i have been noticing when i have a bad day n the dystonia is really bothering me that taking the suboxone those days seems to be making it worse n my left side is affected n when i take the suboxone dose it obviously starts making my side start to act up as far as aching n pain n contorting of the muscles, i got pregnant recently n was switched to subutext n i have been taking my full dose everyday n have not experienced any kind of those same effects, i got the dystonia from too high of a dose of geodon a couple yrs ago, since getting the dystonia i now have an allergic reaction to so many medications that i have to wear a medical alert bracelet cuz there are just so many n i have almost been given several of those meds accidentally. iv done so well on the subutext as compared to the suboxone im hesitant about restarting the suboxone, sometimes i could barely tolerate a quarter of a pill n i had to take it as tolerated n iv no issues with the subutext whatsoever. i am wondering what or if you have ever come across this before?
I understand your concern and would explain that this is quite a usual situation in patients with dystonia.
Coming to this point, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of deep brain stimulation, which is a good treatment option in cases when medication is not well tolerated or non-effective.
You should discuss with your doctor on this issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka,
