Can Subut3x cause worse anxiety?

[sweetmelissa589]

Hi everyone.. I have always suffered from pretty severe GAD, social anxiety, PTSD, paranoia, depression and insomnia, ect.. but I have noticed that since being on subut3x, my anxiety has gotten so much worse.  I've been on about 6 to 8mg a day for about 5 years now, though started at 32mg a day.  I quickly tap3red to the 8mg but trying to stay at about 6, though I want to get off of them for good.  Anyway.. my anxiety has been getting worse, it seems, the longer I'm on them.  I'm also experiencing apathy, anhedonia and depression that keeps getting worse also.  Has anyone who has been on long, or even short term subut3x/suboxon3 ever notice a worsening of anxiety, depression, ect?  Any help would be appreciated.  Also,  anyone have experience with tapering subut3x?  I'm so scared that the anxiety, depression, ect, will get even worse when tapering that it's stopping me from going lower.  I just want off this and wish I never stayed on it so long. Again.. any help or advice would be so much appreciated.  Thank you!

I have been on meth0dne suboxon3 and am now on subut3x. I have come off them and I had to go back to taking them because it helped my anxiety. Found a good psychiatrist and she put me on vyvanse. It actually has helped me with my anxiety also. It’s hard to get off them with the multiple issues that I have. You unfortunately will have more anxiety coming off of them. I was sober for 6 months which was a long time for me. I had to go back to it again because of the anxiety and depression was too much for me. I am going to try again to get off them now I have dealt with some of my other issues. I hope you can get through it. It’s a hard thing to do but it’s possible. You should definitely try something for your anxiety and a stimulant helps to give you the energy you will lose. Good luck
