Suboxone may help people feel less anxious for a variety of reasons. Suboxone works by occupying and activating the same receptors in the brain that opioids do. Suboxone prevents withdrawal-related anxiety, which is one of the most prominent symptoms of opioid withdrawal. In anxiety modulation, the brain opioid system plays an important role. It is believed that medications that activate brain opioid receptors, especially mu-opioid receptors, block anxious behavior and induce relaxation. Addiction to opioids and anxiety disorders very commonly occur together. This is called a co-occurring disorder and while suboxone may assist with some symptoms of anxiety it is important that it is used as part of an overall treatment plan.
