I talk to my psychiatrist and he agreed that I need to start out at a very small dose of buprenorphine. But he also told me not to take any benzodiazepines which I can't just cold turkey. He suggested not taking them and taking an anticonvulsant like Gabapentin to prevent possible convulsive withdrawal symptoms from the benzos. But without them my anxiety is over the top. And he said I could take clonidine for the anxiety if I don't take the benzos. So I'm kind of stuck right now.
