Hi Shumbah,

I don't have any idea about that so I won't be of any help. How are you doing with Buprenorphine ?

Absolutely perfect ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I wish everyone was free from RLS

Itโ€™s so unfair .

I had to see a specialist for something else today and he wanted to stop the buprenorphine and put me on clomazepam

Really HELL NO

Not even his field I was not there for that.

Thank god my GP is in my corner .

Hi Jenkins ,

I would ask for 2mg buprenorphine although I believe they will not prescribe it in the UK

I would find a clinic that prescribes methadone as they will be your best bet.

if who ever you see says know ask if they prescribe temgesic .

Tengesic 200 micrograms is easy to get in australia it is the same as buprenorphine but a much lower does it may not be enough however if you cannot get buprenorphine it may be worth a try.

Temgesic is also sublingual you will need to take a few .

As I said best bet is a private clinic.

I finished my schooling in Bromsgove west midlands I spent nearly 13 great years in the UK.

Please let us know if you are successful

I feel for you
