Chris,  I must ask the same question posed by members here, why would you jump from 10mg to nothing. It's my understanding then when it's used for addiction you are supposed to go 10-8-4-2.. then to 0mgs a day.

Did you take too much and run out?  (You can be honest, we are all here for our own reasons, and none of them are because we behaved perfectly).

Why are you jumping from 10mg to cold turkey?  The recommendation is that you taper off sub and that you do it over time, the length of time being decided by how long you've been on the sub.  Can you get more and taper or is that not an option?

Chris = are you on Subutex and withdrawing from it or trying to get on it?  I don't  quite understand your post.
If you're withdrawing from the Sub and having problems you're going down too fast - can you increase your dose?  Give a little more info so we can help you
