withdrawing from Subutex and on to Naltraxone?

I have been on Subutex for four months now; before that I was on methadone. I felt emotionally ok on methadone, but could not deal with the profuse sweating - I only had to lift a finger (it seems) before I would pour with sweat. I could not contemplate working under those conditions. But on subutex I am always so depressed and cannot get the emotional energy to do anything. I really want to stop using so that I can get my life back to normal again and start working. I am considering reducing off subutex and going on to naltraxone, and wondered if anyone had any such experience and any advice. I think that I am not yet strong enough to stay away from heroin. Can any one help?

Thanks,
Sones
