Anyone have a similar situation

I was on Suboxone for 8 months (2mg daily) in 2006 and decided to quit pretty much cold - it was hell.  It literally took a month before I was sleeping and feeling normal.  It was hell!
I quit for 18 months and now have been back on Suboxone for 1 year.  I've never had an issue with anything but percoset.  This time I am trying to quit it with Clonidine.  I've only ever taken about 2mg of Suboxone per day and I'm told the Clonidine should help with little to no problems.  Its my first day of trying so I'm scared ******** becasue of last time.  Any words of advice?

If you are going too use the cloidine, make sure a dr gives it too you and take it like he says IT CAN AND WILL BOTTOM OUT YOUR BLOOD PRESURE!! I was on it for blood presure and my heart dr made sure i knew what i was doing with it frist but it also worked very well on my w/ds while i was in house rehab
