I started taking suboxone I got off the street, and I didn't wait to be in withdrawal before I started I took my last opiat at night and started on 8 mg in the morning, this is day 7 of me taking them I cut down on day 3 to 2mg twice a day for 2 days now I'm down to 1 mg a day, but I have really bad anxiety and can't sleep. I know I shouldn't have done it this way without a Dr, but I was afraid my job would find out through my insurance, and I would loose my job.
