Experiences with

Buprenorphine and Naloxone

I am taking 2.05 Buprenorphine and Naloxone. No sleep at night and an hour nap during the day. I will not give in!! I’ve done the normal things like hot showers, screaming and crying, etc. Is there any other pain medication that will help? Sue I am sorry I missed your TV (?)

Also known as Buprenorphine and Naloxone 2 mg/0.5 mg. It is a sublingual film that I put under my tongue. It was life changing. My first dose was at noon, and I slept all night with no kicking. It was nothing short of amazing. Life was worth living again.

Joined just to share this in hopes that it can offer a deeper look into getting off dopamine agonists and what it entails for people.

I'm 72 and have had RLS most of my adult life. I went the route of dopamine agonist (ropinirole) for over 20 yrs and found out on my own that I had experienced augmentation.

Just finished the Medicare hearing for the Buprenorphine trial. The pharmacy company( Cigna) did not appear.

I’ve finally found a combination that has eased my RLS. I’ve recently started exercising, in particular weight training. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not but, since I have been exercising my RLS has worsened! I am awake for hours in the night with intense pain in my hips and thighs and chest

Hi Joolsg and Sue thank you for your replies the other day, they were helpful and informative. Went to see Dr Fackrell and he was also very helpful is sending a plan for weaning off Pramipexole and had suggested Buprenorphine as the way forward to my GP.

After an 8 month wait my appointment finally happened last week with a Neurologist.
