I am currently on 2mg of methadone. I have buphenorphine tablets and I am wondering if anyone knows the usual dose to take to control the withdrawal symptoms. One didn’t help much. I tried couple of weeks to be completely off methadone. How long should I stay on this med, I just want it to help with the end of the withdrawal symptoms.

You must work closely with the professionals prescribing the buprenorphine for it is a mixed bag of an opiate having both agonist and also antagonist properties producing withdrawal symptoms usually in higher. You should know about buprenorphine that is slow to be released from the receptors and slow for its action to disappear so that a decreasing dosage schedule should be several days apart and carefully observed. I would consider other techniques of withdrawing from methadone if I were you.

in order for you to begin taking the BUPY you have to be at least 3 to 4 days in withrawal in order for it to work. BUPY can serve as both agonist& ant antagonist meanning if you still have methadone in your system it can shoot you into withrawal.
