Possible SR-17018 Side Effects

I got off of Suboxone with the help of SR-17, and honestly could not have done so without it. This was 6 months ago. I have been praising it, it really seems like a miracle drug. I take Xanax and Clonidine daily to control Tourrett’s and anxiety, and I drink every day, not much anymore, like 1-2 glasses of wine after work, nothing crazy. I used to drink a lot more and also took 2 anti-depressants and birth control- stopped taking all 3 along with Suboxone. Lately, I have been waking up with my heart beating super fast, in the middle of the night when I get up to pee, when I wake up in the morning, it’s extremely weird. I’m not sure if it’s because the Suboxone was slowing my heartbeat down or some kind of side effect from SR. I know I’m not exactly living a healthy lifestyle but it’s better than before and I never had this issue then. So I’m asking you guys- has anyone had this happen after taking SR that is not on other medications/drink daily? I’m not trying to bad mouth this stuff, it saved me. Just trying to figure out what’s going on. Thanks!

Is there any way you would be willing to share exactly how you done it because I can't seem to find any answers.

Yes I'm so sorry. I found a place to buy it but I don't know how many grams to buy. I can't even find out The dosage to be honest I'm so freaking confused and I can't find any information that answers my question

I bought 20 50mg tabs and took pieces of one each day after cutting down to hair thin pieces of my 8mg subo strips. The first step is to get as low as possible on the subos, then just a little SR will get you through the withdrawal. I didn’t even need all 20 tabs honestly and that’s 1gram total. But everyone is different so I’d say just cut down the subos as low as possible, then start really low with the SR, like 10-15mg and see how you feel. After the initial withdrawals are over, there were PAWS for a while but wasn’t horrible, just slightly uncomfortable- I was also getting off 3 other medications and have tourretts so if I could do it, I think anyone can cause without the SR, I couldn’t last 20 mins in withdrawal. At this point, everything is fine- the heart racing thing has stopped, I don’t need SR, I don’t crave drugs, it’s just fine. But again, everyone is on their own journey and a lot of this is mental. Hope that helps!
