Anyone quit burprenorphine or opiates cold turkey?

I’m going into my fourth week without pain meds. I had been on buprenorphine since 2012 for a number of things including latent cancer effects. I finally got to the point where they weren’t working past ten minutes and then the pain rebounded even worse.

The pain is actually tolerable now but I can’t sleep well at all. I have tachycardia. Taking a shower will put me well over 100. And my lower GI is a mess. I have no cravings but I have zero energy or drive. I’m just plain exhausted. Anyone else tho through this?
