the buprenorphine should help a lot! i'm glad you were able to find a supply of that. its so much easier to taper since it stays in your system for longer. i'd switch as soon as possible, to a dose that feels comfortable. just be sure its not mixed with nalaxone (subutex or buprenex or others, not suboxone (cause that can give you really bad withdraw symptoms immediately))
also i'd taper it as gradually as possible (like 2% per week, or as much as you feel comfortable with) anything you can do to minimize the intensity of the withdraw and stay balanced.
good luck!
