First of all, POS, I hope that you adopt another screen name or let us know your real name. No matter what you think, you are NOT a plague on society. You are a good person, who is an addict in need of recovery.
Since this was posted at 5am, you should be a few more than just six hours into withdrawal. Have you thought about using the COWS scale to objectively evaluate the intensity of your withdrawal to know when you may be ready to induct yourself (which sounds to be your plan)? Keep reminding yourself that the sicker you are before the Sub, the better you will feel after.

I'm afraid to tell my doctor what is happening, and even more afraid to tell my parents. They have been so proud of me, I don't want to break their hearts again for the 50th time.

Honesty is the absolute best policy. At least that is what I'm discovering (and it's taken me a while, I assure you).

I need to hear some outside perspective on this garbage situation seeing as I won't be sleeping anytime soon.

Last night was the first night that I slept in almost a week. I read the above line and am sorry that I did. I wish that I could have replied to your post earlier. I'll keep an eye out for you to post again. Please keep updating this thread.
If you don't tell your doctor... how do you expect to get the Suboxone? If you plan to obtain it illegally, it will work against you fixing the mindset of addiction.
Let us know once you've inducted. Stick around. We can support you. You're not alone.
