Hi guys, first time post & new to all this. I was just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with coming off espranor so at all? I was smoking 1/2 a gram of heroin a day for about 8 months, I've been stable on espranor for about 5 months & wanna get off asap as I work self employed etc. Also is there any OTC meds that I can take to help with symptoms if needed, I'm in the uk. Thanks
 
What dose are you currently taking? The longer you're on buprenorphine the harder it is to come off IME.

I read an article somewhere that said it takes about a month to completely come out of your system. I could deal with being ill for a few days but when it goes on for weeks that's a problem,especially the depression. You could be completely different though and find it a lot easier.

I started in 32mg and took seven years to get down to a crumb,probably 0.01mg and then jumped onto kratom which I'm still on. I'm planning on getting off of it soon.

As for OTC meds theres not a lot. Sominex (promethazine) helps a bit. Ibuprofen and warm baths,gentle exercise and fresh air. I wish you the best mate.
