How long were you on Suboxone and how much were you taking?  Doctors will always tell you to taper any type of medication you've taken for awhile, but Suboxone must be tapered very slowly.  Can you still have it prescribed?  2mg really isn't much at all, so if that helps, then start there.  2mg is a crumb in itself, but it can still be cut again from there to even smaller crumbs, so do that as well.  Personally I would do that before getting something else like a benzo because if you go that route you could just be opening pandora's box.  If you know 100% you can self discipline yourself, then yes, by all means take the above advice for clonipin or something like that.  Just get with your doctor and let them know what's happening and come up with a set plan.  Good luck.

Hang in there.  Definitely try to get some clonidine or something to help.  Your symptoms sound pretty common.. the pounding heart is probably from anxiety.  Are you doing this with a doctor?  I would find one to help.  Maybe a 'walk in' urgent care facility or something - just be honest and ask for help.  There is help out there and its better to be safe and honest and upfront.  If not - then just hang on tight and try relaxation techniques.. deep breathing, yoga if you know it, hot baths, saunas, jacuzzi.. anything to help with the anxiety.. I found walking helped with the weird jittery leg feelings... Remember, you will feel better.  Its a difficult detox.  I did it without any help either, so I KNOW you can do this.

will your sub doctor write you a script for clonidine or tenex?
