Brighty,

I’m sorry you’ve been going through such a hard time. When is your wisdom teeth removal appointment? I know the anxiety can be gruesome.. I had anxiety even while at a stable, higher dose.. I was given a benzo to help while tapering. I did not continue to use it though, I stopped a few weeks after jumping. It helped me a lot but I am well aware that it can be a slippery slope for many. I have not had any anxiety or panic attacks since stopping suboxone. I was not prone to anxiety/depression/ or panic attacks pre-suboxone though. Like you, it came out of the blue and was really weird to experience.

My attacks were pretty bad too, btw. I would feel like I was going to have a heart attack, my legs would get so weak they couldn’t support me. My doctor almost put me on a beta blocker at 28 years old because he was worried about the stress on my heart. I’ve never had high blood pressure until constant anxiety.. BP is back down now.

I’m wishing you the best. Let me know how you’re doing.
