Subs have never taken away MY anxiety... may work for some people? I am not sure.. but I need anti-anxiety meds, benzodiazepines specifically to do anything for my anxiety... subs do make me feel happy when I am feeling down and angry.. for sure, they have some anti-depressant effects.. but as far as anxiety goes... you would have to be either really sensitive to bupe, or entirely naïve to opioids/opiates for it to take away anxiety.. Some sub docs really need to get all their facts in order! There are some really bad, and very wrong sub doctors out there, prescribing this medication... that should have never been able to! I have been to them, and most of the time they have NO idea what they are talking about... there are also tons of wonderful doctors out there, who actually DO know what they are talking about...
My first sub doc, was so fucking stupid... how he ever was allowed to prescribe them.. I will never know! Hated that fucking idiot, he did NOTHING to help me.. and basically put me on subs and took me off WAY too quick for my comfort, then I relapsed... like I wanted to do the entire 1 month I went to him and went from 16mg(too much!) to less than 1mg in a month, while actually trying to get off oxy... and actually taking the sub.. then he got me down to way too low a dose, way too soon, thus causing me to run straight to the old plug, and pick up a shit load of oxy IR 30s and relapse! Then he kicked me out.. and tbh, I am SO glad he did.. I had no idea, at that time.. that there were really good sub docs out there, who actually care about the feelings/thoughts/wellbeing of their patients!
So.. Again, I will say... please, look into sub doctors before going to them... if you have multiple docs in your area! if not, I hope you have a good doctor! good luck OP, and really anyone reading this thread considering getting on sub... check the doctors out on google, see what kind of ratings they have.. my first doc, had an F rating.. lol.
