Thank you for asking on HCM

If you have been abusing Suboxone, or stops taking it without "stepping down," the results will be withdrawal symptoms like with any other opiate. Some of those symptoms include:

Nausea and vomiting
Muscle and body aches
Insomnia or excessive sleepiness
Stomach problems
Irritability
Cravings for the drug
Anxiety
Sweating and chills
Headache
Inability to concentrate
Depression

The severity of withdrawal symptoms can vary from person to person. How long the drug has been taken and usual dose are also factors.
