Hello, Radames! How are you?

There isn't really anything over the counter that will help much.

The issue here is that Methadone is actually much harder to stop and causes more severe withdrawal effects than Suboxone. Thus, doing a taper from the Suboxone would likely have been a lot easier.

The FDA classifies these medications as opiates that are most commonly used to treat drug addiction. Their typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. They also carry the risk of being habit forming.

Why wouldn't your Suboxone doctor taper you?
