im taking suboxone,ive had problems with sleeping for years....

Your question is difficult to answer without knowing much more about your full medical history, but sleep problems in people with depression are very common. Ultimately, it's the chicken or the egg issue: Which comes first? Some people have to try different antidepressant medications to find one that works best, as everyone responds differently. Sometimes, even though a medication may help you sleep better, it may also aggravate other problems like obstructive sleep apnea. Anything that relaxes your nervous system can aggravate sleep-breathing problems due to their muscle relaxing properties. This is an issue that you should discuss with your doctor. If sleep is a major problem for you, consider seeing a sleep specialist.
