Suboxone withdrawal

[Newlife3737]

I started taking suboxone I got off the street, and I didn't wait to be in withdrawal before I started I took my last opiat at night and started on 8 mg in the morning, this is day 7 of me taking them I cut down on day 3 to 2mg twice a day for 2 days now I'm down to 1 mg a day, but I have really bad anxiety and can't sleep. I know I shouldn't have done it this way without a Dr, but I was afraid my job would find out through my insurance, and I would loose my job. Can anyone give me suggestions on what to do now? I'm afraid from what I'm reading that being I started the subox too soon, I'm going to get worse ! Please help

Thank you for responding, I was taking roxys 2, 30 mg a day. I only started taking subox 1 week ago so I didn't think I would get wd's. today I took my first 1mg and I was planning on taking 1 mg tomorrow and then going down to 1/2 mg for 2 days then 1/4 for one day and that's it. do you think that would be good? I don't want it on my insurance, Hippa laws don't always work. My doctor knew every Drug including antibiotics I took for the last year from another Dr. So much for Hippa

Good evening...just because you weren't 24-48 hours opioid free didn't make you feel worse...the reason you feel bad is because you jumped down in mgs. You will level out. Have you considered going to a doc now. Work can't find out. Hippa laws will protect you.  Or have you considered just going cold turkey??  What were you taking before subs??
