A member asked:

Are muscles jumping and twitching when falling asleep common for being on suboxone? i take 12mg daily, last at 6:30 pm. i go to bed around 11:00/12:00.

Maybe: Twirching of the extremities, as you describe is common as part of opiate withdrawal symptoms. In fact, that's the origin of the expression: kicking the habit. So, you need to discuss this situation with your prescribing physician to best determine why you might be in withdrawal symptoms. I wonder if you are leaving it under your tongue long enough and are not getting the full dose? Good luck.

SPEAK WITH DOCTOR: Does not sound like the Suboxone and perhaps some withdrawal or restless leg or something else.
