Not sure if u are still on here. I have had the same reaction that landed me in the er. Chest pains, tingly fingers, cant breathe, dizzy. Itll pass. They did every test known to man. I think it might be from altering doses or changing eating habits. Seems after I dose and anytime I drank coffee the panic attack would almost take me out.

Reddit is down right now, so 90% of user reported data is unavailable atm, but I had a bad one today. While I have been suspicious these random attacks might be because of the medicine, I'm still not sure, so here I am on the interwebz trying to figure out WTF is going on with me.
I'll take a minute to give a brief backstory: Ok, so I was using a rather high dose of opiates for several years in the form of opium tea (50mg hydrocodone would do jack for withdrawals for reference). I began suboxone in mid-January, so it has been around two months now. Initially, I was prescribed 16mg, but I felt it was a huge dose, so I only did that the first day, then tapered from 12 down to 4mg over about 5 weeks and have maintained that dose since. I had some serious anxiety and blood pressure issues during the time I was tapering, but I chalked it up to withdrawals and adjusting to life on suboxone. Now, I have been on 4mg for a few weeks. I did have some good days, but I've also had some bad ones. Biggest issues have been a lack of motivation, general malaise, life feels blah, but i've chalked that up to protracted "breakthrough" withdrawal symptoms up to now, but it's been too long, and something is amiss .... I woke up this morning at 4:30am suffering a terrible panic attack. The day before I had taken 6mg rather than the 4 I had been taking. I had been having some anxiety, but the last time it was this bad was when I had just gotten down to 8mg, and took 16mg one day. hoping to feel some relief, but all I got was the next 2 or 3 days in hell with anxiety and panic attacks. This time hasn't been quite as bad, but it is still bad, like panic-attack level anxiety. At this point, I'm pretty sure this stuff is causing my anxiety, as it isn't like anything I've ever had before, even in withdrawal. Now, as a final word, don't let this deter you from using this. This medicine is a tool, and like anything else it has it's issues. This has been a million times better than experiencing full withdrawal, but I'm not sure I want to maintain on it.
