Other meds: Other meds are used for symptomatic relief. Clonidine for restlessness, Bentyl (dicyclomine) for stomach cramps, Flexeril for muscle cramps, etc. And you don't have to be in severe withdrawal to transition to suboxone. You should be in moderate withdrawal.

Anxiety Suboxone: It sounds like you've had trouble with benzo's if so you should not go back on them. People think there is an absolute contraindication for using benzo's with Suboxone , there isn't. Anyone using Suboxone should be in some talk therapy the talk therapy should be aimed at helping you calm down. The Suboxone itself has a lot of calming attributes.
