Result from my GP
Jules I sent my GP all the info you gave me on buprenorphine.He read all the info & was then happy (3 nights ago) to change me over from oxycontin to buprenorphine 0.4mg but cutting the tablet in half so I start on 0.2mg. So very many thanks for that. However unfortunately he has not been able to source

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Buprenorphine tablets and tiredness.
I’ve been on Buprenorphine sublingual tablets at 0.6 mg for a little over 3 months. It’s difficult to trace exactly when it started, but within that time I’ve been experiencing increased fatigue. I can function fine when active - driving’s not a problem - but at leisure I’m dropping off whilst reading

buprenorphine dosage?
Hello, I am now taking two 0.4 buprenorphine tablets each night, however whilst I can sleep for about four hours - which feels like a miracle in comparison to what was happening before - and then after a short walk around another two hours… I then have quite severe restless legs and find it difficult

My GPs views on buprenorphine
My doctor says he is not averse to me moving to buprenorphine from oxycontin once he has checked everything out, so he is going to read the Mayo Clinic report etc that you recommended.However on looking up buprenorphine he can only find patches (you all say not successful) or 2mg tablets which he says

Visit to sleep clinic
I attended clinic (all geared up) to see consultant. Well it turned out that the appointment was with a triage nurse - not made clear on appointment papers. He was very professional and apologetic for the confusion. It soon became clear that he has the ear of the consultant who prescribes buprenorphine

Better the devil you know ......
Thank you all for your incredibly helpful replies.I am just wondering if my first port of call should actually be to ask my doctor if I can increase my 10mg of oxycontin to a higher dose & then if that does not work I could ask to be switched to buprenorphine. Have any of you lovely people had success

Out of the frying pan ....
Honestly I am finding this rather depressing after reading Dawn & others comments about buprenorphine.I was thinking, as you know, of asking my GP if I could change from oxycontin to buprenorphine but it sounds as if I will get even more tired plus I will have to ask my doctor for anti sickness pills

Tingling sensation in my fingers and hands. Is it caused by augmentation ?
Hello everyone my RLS is getting worse. I live in Mexico. I wanted everyone to know before I got started because there are certain drugs like buprenorphine I can’t get here. I’m finding that my arms and hands have this funny tingling in them when I go to bed. No jumping like my legs. It’s just a tingling

buprenorphine
I have now been taking buprenorphine sublingual for 3 nights. I am struggling to know when the tablets are dissolved and how the absorption works. I am concerned I am swallowing before they have been absorbed properly. How do I know! I have been trying to leave the tablets under my tongue for up to fifteen

Re Shumbah
People have been telling me to get in contact with Shumbah about Buprenorphine for restless legs, I have sent messages but have had no reply. Is she still on here?

Buprenorphine vs. hydromorphone or other opioids
So I noticed during and after a recent TKR that the buprenorphine that I take for my RLS interacts with the hydromorphone that my surgeon prescribed for me for pain. First, when I was taking my buprenorphine along with the hydromorphone, the hydromorphone wasn't easing my pain because the buprenorphine

Migraine Headaches with disturbance of speech
I have ET treated with 500 mg hydroxycarbamide daily. I am also taking the blood thinner - rivaroxaban - as I have had previous clots - and buprenorphine hydrochloride. I have just started on a small dose of Irbesartan for raised blood pressure. I am 81 years of age and since I was in my sixties

A wonderful GP
I started seeing a new GP who started work in my local GP practice just before covid and she has been Marvellous, she's from South Africa and really listens to me and I've told her about the advice I've been getting here and she said that she is going to look further into buprenorphine being used here
