anxiety

I asked for help with this before, and only received one reply.  I have awful anxiety and take 2 ativan a day and still can't stop crying.  It's been about 43 days since I stopped suboxone after only taking it 5 weeks.  Does any one have any answers?

i dont know how different ativan & xanax are, but when i was on xanax I was really depressed.  I noticed an improvement in my overall mood after a few weeks of being off it.  I was also getting panic attacks while on xanax.  I haven't had one since getting off it.
Like it was suggested, I would maybe express your concerns with your doctor.  Only you know if you are doing better, so if you dont think you are, i would tell them again.  By the way, congratulations on 43 days off of suboxone!

The anxiety may not be from the Suboxone. I suggest that you post in the Anxiety Community for one and speak with your prescribing doctor. It is possible that your medication may need to be adjusted. I hope this all works out for you.
