I'm considering using buprenorphine. Even if you use this product for decades, will there be any problems such as resistanse or increase in dosage?

I agree with Madlegs. And you need to have your condition properly diagnosed first.

I have been on 5mg Norspan patch for 4 years after 40 years RLS and trying everything. Nothing works as well for me than Buprenophine
