Has anyone had bad side effects to buprenorphine patches?

Hi csearch. I'm curious, how did you get off bupe? I'm down to 2mg tabs dissolved under the tongue twice a day. (I started with two 8 mg pills daily.) I've gone from 16 mg/day to 4. And this is Suboxone so it also contains Naloxone.

I ran out once while I was at the higher dose and suffered terrible withdrawal pains after two days with nothing. Since then, I've slowly tapered to only 4 mgs day. Any suggestions on how to get to zero from here?

Thanks so much!

Joe

Hi Joe @heyjoe415, Not sure if you have seen this discussion but thought it might be helpful.

Also here is an article on the topic:

Have you talked with your doctor about suggestions for tapering off?
