This is if you never went above 4mgs, and was tapering down to small doses such as 0.4 and 0.2. The doc prior to sub was H but that was not often, more like once a week for 3 months. So if one uses subutex or suboxone for 3 weeks below 4mgs can you get hooked on subs and feel RLS/insomonia when stopping?

Also if you exercise during your whole stint on bup would that help when detoxing subs?

thanks!
 
Because you were addicted to opiates and switched which one you were taking you will still WD. There is no way around it, even if you stopped at 0.25mg (I did) you will still feel off. The difference is it is not crippling and you may be able to brush it off. I am not sure how exercise effects it.
 
If you're already dependent on opiates before taking bupe, it doesn't matter, as your dependent no matter what.. you're just switching to the subs and if you don't then taper and get to a lower tolerance, your withdrawals will be the same as they would have been from your doc.

If you did not have a prior dependency, than 3 weeks still could be enough time to pick up a mild dependency, unless you've never been physically addicted to an opiate before, at which point for a lot of people it takes a long time to consecutive daily use to pick up your first dependency. But if you've been dependent before on opiates, then 3 weeks of bupe every day is definitely enough time to get addicted again.
 
yeah you will still feel it mate, i ended up jumping off at 4mg in the end, i got sick of being a slave and being able to go anywhere without it! *he says slurping from his 500ml bottle of oramorph =D*
