There is a drug doctors prescribe to help with withdrawals too. My doctor gave it to me when I got off suboxin the second time, can't remember the name but it's worth asking any doc about.

I was addicted to pain pills for years.  Then got on boxin, and took myself of cold turkey. It's the worst thing to go through and there is nothing you can do to make the sweats and chills stop.  The sleeping is the worst part, but I know it sounds strange but when you are comin off suboxin if you take a few viks or percs before bed it helps. And it won't keep you hooked trust me I've been down this road three times.  I haven't smartened up, until now. But try it and you'll sleep. Also take as many scolding hot showers as possible it makes the sweats stop for awhile. Hope this helps someone out there.
