My pain management doctor prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film 8. 2 and gabapentin 900 mg a day in January 2023 for chronic back pain. I was taking tramadol prior to that. Since April I have been experiencing anxiety attacks. He has lowered the gabapentin to 300mg a day. He suggested switching buprenorphine/naloxone to Percocet to see if the buprenorphine is causing the panic attacks. I’m worried about withdrawals? He said there shouldn’t be since they are in the same drug class. He has prescribed Zoloft 50mg a day, but it hasn’t helped. He also prescribed Xanax 0. 5mg if needed. I have taken a half dose 3 times when I was having an attack. Scared of addiction to that. My life was never like this until I started buprenorphine. Has anyone had similar symptoms or switched the drug to another opioid?
How to stop buprenorphine/naloxone and start Percocet?
