I HAVE THE 100% SAME PROBLEM && even during withdraw that was the worst part for me in my legs,feet & even hands & arms at times.....

i went to a doctor & asked for a MUSCLE RELAXER.. you can still get dependent on it but only take it when u really need it....

it helps 100% for me

good luck....

Sleep is a number one complaint. Baths as hot as you can take it, with empsom salts helps a lot. Try exercising through the day, especially in the evening. Walk, swim, whatever to get your heart up, even slightly will help you feel better and sleep. Many use immodium for stomach issue, it works. I spent the nights web surfing recovery and posting here. Sleep will return.

You can get Hyland's restless legs at Walgreens or Walmart.

After weaning down off pills, I was on subutex for 7 days and suboxone for 21 days.  I knew NOTHING and jumped off at way too high of a dose.
I hadn't been on this forum yet and needlessly went into precipitated w/drawals.  Hindsight of course, but have learned a lot since.  You will too.

If you scroll down to the bottom of this page on the r.h. side there is a box with most viewed health pages.....also a place to click to see more health pages.  Lots of good info on subs, w/drawals, nutrition, helpful info for you!

By the time I get this posted you will probably have heard from more than one of us on here.  
Hyland's Restless Legs is an otc homeopathic remedy that works for many.  One of the main ingredients is quinine.  You can also buy tonic water with quinine in it and mix it w/juice or lemons or limes.
Another person has suggested that wrapping ace bandages around your legs might help or even your warm pet laying on your legs.
Lots of good support here......glad you've joined us!
