Hello,
Withdrawal symptoms from SUBOXONE include anxiety,irritability,nausea,sweating,flu like symptoms etc.
These withdrawal symptoms last for longer periods who have used it for longer periods or used an heavy dose.
Normally physical withdrwal symptoms may go in few weeks but psychological symptoms may take many months to go.
Wean the drug gradually by reducing your dose by 20% every 3 weeks.
It would take few months to come out of it.
Thanks
