What size Temgesic did you order? The typical SL wafers available from IOP's are 0.2mg. The usual daily dosage for tapering with buph starts at about 16mg SL! Do the math. I agree with Trampy, you're very likely going to be just as successful tapering with hydro. In addition to some anti-anxiety meds, I'd suggest phasing in a good anti-depressant like Effexor XR or perhaps Wellbutrin or a combo of the two to keep your dopamine levels up, this helps somewhat with the psychological aspects - hydro is after all a pretty good AD. IMO SSRI's are worthless and the tri-cyclics have way too many side-effects, though low dosages of something like elavil (a tri-cyclic) may help with sleep problems as you taper off. Many detox centers give out 100mg of Trazodone to help sleep -- I've found it exacerbates nightmares and middle of the nite panic awakenings, but others swear by it. Good luck.
