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.

Hi Mariuni, I have not used this but was prescribed Codine phosphate instead which I can not tolerate nor was it helping my symptoms. Sorry I not much help!

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

Your experience is very helpful! Has there been any increase in dosage over the past 4 years?
