Suboxone Detoxing, Help!

Hey everyone, I have recently just stopped using suboxone and I need some help with ways to keep my cool while getting off it. I never have quit anything and stayed dependent free. About 8 years ago my drug problem started with Oxycontin and Vicodin. Then, about a year ago I was introduced to the sublingal tablet Suboxone, after taking it now for a year I want off but the withdrawls seem almost as bad as when it was the pills. I think it would help if I was actually prescribed it to begin with but I'm not, that way I could wean myself down with a doctor's help. Anyway, it has only been two days and the withdrawls are just now starting to peak. It's getting almost to hard to deal with, beside the fact i'm trying to quit with a boyfriend addict as well and he's having it harder than me. I don't know whether this is the right way to do it or not. Anyone with ideas on what to do next? I need the ideas! Thanks!
