Accepted Answer

Not to worry: Dehydration is considered, In this situation ensure you are drinking water at least until urine is a little lighter than normal.  When detoxing, urine is eliminating waste and that can burn at the urethra.  This will not likely present any problem starting Suboxone but tell your doctor about it.

i haven't had my period since last october,im 38 and with my lifestyle decisions and partner choices i know im not pregnant, i am on suboxone though, could the med be causing the loss? or could i be pre-menopausal? helllp please?

Accepted Answer

: Suggest obtaining a "home" pregnancy test to be certain, and ask your GYN physician about polycystic ovarian syndrome ( PCOS), as ovulation is delayed in this condition, and so is menstruation.  "Pre-menopause" is unlikely.
