Slipper –

You are certainly not the only one who still has sleep problems while on suboxone. It’s not really a med that’s meant to help people sleep. It’s definitely something you should discuss with your doctor (you don’t have to mention the klonopins at all).

I’ve been taking Trazodone for quite a while for my sleep and it works great for me. It does have a bit of a hangover for the first few days at most, but that subsides and I have no trouble waking.

Everyone else has given you great advice on tapering off the benzos you’re on, so I don’t think I can add anything to that.

I will say that I, too, had a HUGE addiction to benzos – Xanax specifically – before I started suboxone. I never imagined I’d be able to function without them (6+ mg a DAY of xanax – no exaggeration). So what you need to do – get off the klonopin – is DOABLE! You CAN do this. And you have your husband to help you.

Good luck and remember, we’re here for you. You’re not in this alone.
