question: I have severe chronic pain and was on opiates but they started not working and became tolerant to them. I went off them in January this year and went to see a doctor to get of oxycodone and the doctor started me on suboxone sublingual pills. I am now experiencing a lot of side effects. Is there anything I can go on to help with my sever pain? I have degenerative disc disease, acute fibromyalgia, ,ingrained headaches, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis is just to name a few. I am at my wits end. I do not know how much ,ore I can take. What do you suggest. Should I go back on pain medication again since it has been five months. I used to be on the fentanyl patch 25 mg.
