If you get to feeling worse-go visit the ER, ok? There maybe some complex interaction with your meds causing some of your problems, too. I have never taken Buprenorphine (spelling?), so I really can't give you any good advice about it. You may need treatment for the withdrawal. I have had meds boomerang on me in the past and it does suck, but they have always been relatively brief nasty spells. You were on Neurontin for quite some time weren't you? Did you discontinue the Neurontin recently and switch to Lamictal? I got REAL uptight and agitated when I stopped Neurontin. Some folks here have complained about Lamictal causing agitation and anxiety-you might check into that with your doc this week. Sounds like you made a lot of med changes real quickly.
Take care of yourself,
Mitch
