I took buprenorphine for pain management for two years....i stopped taking it 3 years ago and i have never felt the same since. Constant anxiety and constant dysphoria. The only thing that helps is ativan 2mg tid or klonopin.......is it possible to ask my dr. To take ativan during the day and klonopin at night since klonopin makes me tired. Lastly, do you know if other people who've 5aken bubrenorphine for a long time seem to have permanent dysphoria? How do i get my answer
