I Currently Switched Over From Methadone To Subutex A Week

i currently switched over from methadone to subutex a week ago. i still feel like the withdraw is trying to bust out of there. i don't cold sweat or nothing. i just feel real anxious and have no energy like i thought i would. plus its like i keep getting these god awful little headaches that make you swcint your eyes a lot. how long should it be until ill feel like working or being in the crowd again. i switched over because everyone praises how much more energy and less cloudy you get. i almost want to go back to methadone but i really want this to work.when i switched i was on 85mg. when i detoxed. i went down 10 a week. i did it quickly because I'm suppose to get my job back within a week now and i don't want to be out there dragging ass. is it possible that the methadone is still on my receptors and hasn't fully let the subutex do its job. the headaches are just like when i withdrawed on pain medicine years ago.
