Tapering Off Buprenorphine or Suboxone pt. 1

August 8, 2018 by admin 9 Comments

Many patients taking buprenorphine live in fear of a dark world around the corner where they will have to taper off the medication.  They see horror stories on YouTube posted by people who, for some reason, abruptly stopped the medication and kept a video log of their experiences.   My own patients sometimes ask, nervously, if … [Read more…]

Withdrawal Work-Up II

October 12, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

First posted 11/11/2012 In my last post, I wrote about the work-up of a patient who experiences symptoms similar to opioid withdrawal that start about an hour after each dose of Suboxone.  We decided that the symptoms were signs of withdrawal—i.e. reduced activity of mu-opioid pathways—and that the symptoms were triggered by taking a daily … [Read more…]

Withdrawal Symptoms on Suboxone

October 11, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Originally posted 11/7/2012 I struggle with the length of my posts.   I shoot for 1000 words—an amount of reading that most people can knock off in a typical trip to the bathroom— but I find it difficult to limit posts to that size.  So as I have done in the past, I will break this … [Read more…]

Withdrawal from Suboxone or Buprenorphine

September 23, 2012 by admin 1 Comment

I received a question from a reader about withdrawal symptoms from stopping buprenorphine. My answer has relevance to opioid withdrawal in general, and to a common misconception about the duration of withdrawal symptoms. The message: Basically I quit Suboxone about 18 days ago. When I decided to quit I was taking about 8 to 12mgs per day. I … [Read more…]

Withdrawal from Suboxone

December 31, 2010 by admin 27 Comments

I often receive e-mails asking for advice on tapering Suboxone, or asking how long Suboxone withdrawal should last.  People who read my blog know my approach to stopping Suboxone; I see it as an exercise in futility even in the rare cases where the person is successful, because of a relapse rate that verges on … [Read more…]

My ebook guide to Buprenorphine/Suboxone

September 20, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

I have talked about the book I am working on– I decided at some point to come out with two things. I receive so many questions about Suboxone– apparently many doctors don’t come up with suggestions for dealing with surgery, pain, etc. So I have produced an e-book that describes my approach to dealing with … [Read more…]
