anti sickness and Buprenorphine

as i mentioned in previous post mum is currently in hospital with severe nausea, tummy ache ( poss from constipation)

she lost 2 stone as nausea worse when eating. nausea came on few months after starting . Buprenorphine , we not sure if connection

anyway mums sickness won’t go away and they been given ondasetron which has helped very slightly but they added in cyclizine which has given her a appetite but of course its kicking of rls slightly.

as mentioned she currently takes 0.4 Buprenorphine but is actually precribed 0.6.

a doctor in the past suggested increasing if meds brought rls on, could anyone advise whether it would be worth her trying adding in the extra 0.2 dose ? if so would it be a idea to take it in the morning to see her through?

this cyclizine really seems to help mums terrible nausea and it would be great if she can take it

Nausea is a common problem with buprenorphine.

Cyclizine can make RLS worse. I would stick with the ondasetron

Read posts by Davchar. He has had ongoing problems with severe nausea on buprenorphine. He tried all kinds of things and in the end settled - I think - on a combination of a 7d buprenorphine patch topped up with (half of) 0.2mg bup sublingual tablets. He decided it was (mini-) withdrawal rather than a side effect of the buprenorphine. But do find his posts and replies, as I am not completely sure.
