Hello - just to start, if this thread is in the wrong section I do apologize. It's my first post after many years of lurking.
I have been an avid user of opiates and recently joined a pain management clinic that started me off (assuming that I'm opiate naive) on new buprenorphine buccal films. They're 150mcg, intended for twelve hours of pain relief.
I have been using dilaudid heavily for the past month or so, and have been plugging around 40mg a day. It has completely lost effectiveness and frankly I'm tired of using/being in the cycle of addiction.
I have used suboxone in the past and have access to it still, but it caused severe pulsating migraines that were worse than typical withdrawal symptoms. All of this information brings me to my main question/s.
1. If I drop the dilaudid cold turkey, will the belbuca be enough to combat the relatively severe withdrawals I should expect? 150mcg seems like quite a low dose. I have many of them available at my disposal to work with, though.
2. Would one assume that taking one of these 150mcg films when I'm in relatively bad withdrawal (perhaps 15 hours after last dose) that it would not cause precipitated withdrawal? Seeing as the dose is quite low.
This drug appears to be quite new as no search on Google or any other forums offered any useful advice.
I'll likely stock up on a few 8mg Suboxone in case the withdrawal is just too severe, but if I can simply take multiple films and avoid the nalaxone induced migraine that would be preferred.
Thanks for your help and input Bluelighters.
