What withdrawal symptoms do YOU have from Suboxone? & From what MG?

I guess I'll start by saying I've been taking 24 mg daily for 2 months, My 400$ suboxone refil that was to last 30 days purchased 10 days ago is missing - be it as simple as it having fallen out of my purse, my dr is not going to write an early refil b/c sub is a controlled substance... SO 3 days ago I took my last dose, last night at 1030 hit a really rough spot, massive stomach issues, diarreah, uncontrollable vomiting, irregular heartbeat, pain in my chest so my guy called 911 and the ambulance said my hb and bp were fairly high but my heartbeat was totally irregular and everytime it slipped was when my chest would have that stabbing pain - I watched it on the monitor...so we went to the er - they gave me anti nausea that didn't work and ativan which i hated b/c it made me so loopy I was out.  So my physical symptoms were: pain in my chest between my breasts but a few inches lower but only when I exhaled spoke or whispered, massive vomiting spells and some diareah.

I'm terrified what the next few days will bring.  The only reason I'm okay right now is b/c my mother found two I'd given her from when we were on vacation.  Took those at noon but I know it won't keep me feeling ok.  I have all of the ingredients for the Thomas Recipe and will begin tomorrow.  Any other advice is greatly appreciated - I have a bottle of norco 10/325 and am thinking if it gets horrible I may take one of those - honest to god I hav eZERO desire to be a junkie again and could easily hand over the bottle to someone I trust and that respects me to only hand one a day until the withdrawals have subsided.
Thanks guys

I wish I knew someone on them..unfortunately, I don't.  I got the norco script and am only holding onto it if I feel something horribly wrong, and only at a one pill at a time basis...
i feel like such a fool but living my life with those withdrawals from the sub is no longer an option.  It did me SO much good though and I'll never have a bad thing to say about the sub.  I knew what I was getting into when I started, I guess I just didn't know it'd be SO much worse.
Thanks for the support

Theres 2mg of suboxone in each orange tab. the rest is naxalone. You could probably be stabilized with just one sub. Do you know anyone else taking sub? most people can do well with 1 sub every three days. The life fo each one lasts 3 days. They over perscribe it I guess to keep levels of noxalone high to keep you from craving

I think I would try to stop c/t but I know you may not be able to. If you can take the norco to help untill you can get more sub if it can make you comfortable. I think Dr's like this should not be able to prescribe it becasue he should be informed enough to know the horrible withdrawls you will have and you need to be tapered off.  I would def get off the sub asap.

i've tried - he's not letting up and i was laid off two weeks before christmas so my financial situation is horrible - I don't have a dime to spend on a doctor - i'm lucky we have food
my only other thought is to take norco for the withdrawal...im so sad..

You need to be tapered off that. You will have horrible wothdrawls from what I have read. Maybe you should see another dr or go back to your dr and explain the situation. I was put on it  and given a script of 20, got 10 filled since they are so expensive and only took one total because I was scared of getting hooked. They are for short term only. Hopefully one of your dr's will help you. Hang in there.
