Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


Panic attacks is not a stated side effect of Suboxone, but it may be causing it.
You may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms (manifesting as panic attacks) due to dependence on another drug If you used another medication before.
The symptoms will pass in time so don't worry.
