Any help is so very much appreciated ??

um i was on suboxone for about 3 years too, and although it took me about 3 weeks to feel normal, i didnt go through all that....i think you're suffering from what they call paws. or post acute withdrawal syndrome...which after using opiates for so long your brain is damaged and it has to heal...um you described the symptoms perfectly...you should probably see a psychiatrist and get on anti depressants and anxiety medication...for me zoloft helped a lot...um i dont believe hallucinating is part of the symptoms but i guess it could be...you should definitely get counseling and see a psychiatrist...im on methadone maintenance...suboxone didnt work for me, methadone is helping a lot, im just afraid to come off....well stay strong and please see a doctor and get on something like zoloft it helps so much
