Are you still on bupe, tapering? If you are crawling out of your skin and have recently cut your dose in half (say) it is not going to be the end of the world or ruin your taper if you take a larger dose today, and a smaller dose tomorrow, and just try to usually keep to the smaller dose, and increasingly spread out the larger dose to 2-3 days, then continue tapering. even if taking more bupe than that it is preferable than going back to dope. You are doing a good job, clearly. It is not the end of the world to have to halt the taper for a little while or go back a bit. Certainly it is a step backwards if you were to go way back to your original dose but you're not talking about that. Sometimes you need to modulate your dose a little more carefully during the taper, although this is also not the orthodox medical practice. Whatever you do with your bupe dose, it'sbetter than a full on dope relapse. Whatever you do hope you find yourself feeling better and safe and without a doubt you can feel proud of what you are already doing.
