Suboxone Dangerouse Side Effects, Now Stopping Use

Hello. This is my first post & I'll do my best to make it brief. Over 7 weeks I took 68 Suboxone pills starting at 12 mgs daily. Shortly later to to  10 mg, then 8 for about 3 weeks then I began to have bad effects, either an allergic reaction or  i was overdosing. the Symptoms were very tight chest, times that I couldn't breathe & swelling of my throat to the point I thought it might close. I went down to 4 mg for a while and stopped completely for 2 days & these side effects stopped. For 9 days I've taken only a crumb. I'd say about 1.5 mg over the past week.
All this came about after a year run on Oxycontin & Opana. I'm 50 years old & cold turkeyed off methadone & Zanax & Clonipin at the same time so I do know what severe withdrawals are. My question is just what am I in for? Will I go in monster withdrawals soon? The pieces I've been taking for 9 days are about the size of a grain of salt.
Thanks, Johnny South Knoxville

Have you spoken with your Dr about the side effects? The wds are different for everyone, esp. with the sub as it has such a long half life. Skipping days before stopping is often suggested as it tends to lessen the wds. Hang in there, it just takes time.
