Yes, I had a similar experience. It takes a lot of buprenorphine to treat pain. Then you get all the side effects of high dose buprenorphine. The doctors say it's safer. I couldn't do it, so I asked for my old plan meds back. Luckily, they restored my previous medication. After fighting with Walgreens for a couple of days, I was back on my old medication.

But they won't increase the opioid dose because I have reached the max for my Pain clinic, so the Oxy don't work so good any more. It's a catch-22.
