I was on subutex/suboxone for a year or so, before that I was doing heroin for 5 or 6 months or so, and before that I was doing mostly dilaudid and morphine and some other random stuff for a few years, etc...
I stopped going to my sub doctor because I was too busy with school on top of losing my insurance. Luckily I had a bottle or two since I took way less than prescribed so it lasted me a few months after the fact, up until a month or so ago.
After I pretty much detoxed I did some oxy, and sporatic hydro and sub use, intranasally (haven't IV'd for over a year), apparently I am still slightly feeling some withdrawal affects, like some pretty extreme anxiousness, restlessness, rls, insomnia, a ton of sneezing/yawning... very little chills/gross skin feeling, but lots of "heaviness".
I've been diagnosed with a plethora of anxiety related disorders which pretty much disappear with sub use (I was down to 1/4th-1/8th of a pill and that worked) but now that I'm off it's all coming back ridiculously...

I'm wondering what you guys would recommend doing? Should I find a new sub doctor or deal with all of the anxiety I would normally have on top of however long these crazily random symptoms last, maybe go back to occasional random opiate use?
