Yeah, Christin, that ‘anxiety’ is on steroids and I would do anything to stop it. Until recently, I’d never felt that way before in my entire life. Sure, I’ve had anxiety, even panic attacks but NOT like that!!! Even when I stopped Sub altogether in the past for up to a week, I didn’t feel that horrible, I think because I stopped before at high doses and the Sub hadn’t even gotten out of my system enough to get me to that crazy point. There’s no way in hell I’m going to do that to myself again if I can avoid it. I’ll taper to some crazy small amount and then gradually space it apart further and further. No wonder people need Suboxone, huh? I really can’t even imagine what Oxy addicts go through when they are w/o their pills and I have so much compassion for that level of suffering, knowing that it’s supposedly even worse than Sub w/d. You’re right that there’s little freedom of choice at that point. I would have swallowed any pill or jammed a needle in myself if it would have stopped it faster. Waiting for those minutes to tick by for the Sub to stop it seemed like too much to ask.
