Buprenorphine
IF I dont succeed in finding a Gp who will prescribe my Buprenorphine tablets I may have to try patches instead . Can anyone tell me the usual strength to start on and what people generally stay on ? Im worried about feeling like a zombie all day with them !

Buprenorphine update - one week in
Well, I’ve been taking Buprenorphine for a week now, and I can barely believe it. I have had [u]zero[/u] RLS! My IRLSS has gone from the high 30s to 0. Absolutely no symptoms at all. I have spent my nights in bed like a normal person. The relief is unbelievable. On the first night I took one 0.2mg

Buprenorphine
I thought I would share my story . I live in Gloucestershire and have suffered with chronic rls for over 30 yrs Dopamine Agonists worked quite well until I hit augmentation last year. Getting off them was hell and was often suicidal . This forum saved my life. Last month I finally got put on Buprnorphine

medication rotation
My RLS doctor, who I have found to be most knowledgeable about RLS put me on Buprenorphine,( .5 mg is my lowest effective dose). I was on Pramipexole without significant augmentation, but discontinued gradually after starting the Bup. After a year of Bup only, after the dopamine receptors have “reset

London pain management specialist
Hi, I know no one can directly post a recommendation but would anyone be able to send me a direct message if you can recommend a pain management specialist in London because I haven’t had much luck so far I’m currently on Buprenorphine 10mcg patches but they barely last 4 days and are meant to last

Interesting update for those in the UK whose GP practice has Buprenorphine red listed
Finally, after months of hitting my head against a brick wall with my GP practice, where Buprenorphine is firmly red-listed (and the partners flatly refuse to change their stance, even after being presented with all the research we know about on this site), I have been able to obtain an NHS prescription

Desperate for help
Hello everyone. It is a long time since l have posted although l have always kept my interest going in this knowledgeable and helpful site. I am so depressed at present because although l take far more buprenorphine than most members on this site(1.4 mcg) l am still experiencing the tortuous feelings

Buprenorphine tablet's and Oramorph.
Hi all. Does anybody know whether it's safe for me to take 2 ml Oramorph at 1.30 p.m. ? I am trying to take ½ Buprenorphine at 3 p.m. when my RLS starts, then ½ at 9 p.m. , then ½ at 3 a.m. when I always wake up ! A whole tablet knocks me out but I'm finding the 3 half tablets spread out are O.K. ish

methadone or buprenorphine
After augmentation and the horrors of withdrawal, I started on methadone in Feb this year and have titrated slowly up to 7.5 mg . I am now sleeping around 5-7 hours per night but very broken sleep with breakthrough RLS during the night. I think I may still be feeling some effects of augmentation. On

Buprenorphine and constipation.
Can anyone tell me how constipating Buprenorphine is please? I’ve heard a lot about the nausea it causes but not that other side effect of all morphine drugs. Is it better or worse than other opioids? As it is supposed to be the best one for controlling RLS and my Neurologist is going to ask my GP to

Buprenorphine transition from patch to tablets
Hey Everyone With the help of a 20 mg 7 day Buprenorphine patch, I have been free of any dopamine agonist for almost 3 months. But as we all know, the patch does not last 7 days, 5 if you are lucky. Consequently, I change it every 5 days and have had pretty good results. Initially, I would have moderate

bup tablets v temgesic
Hello - I am usually prescribed pure buprenorphine 0.4 tablets - either morningside or accord brand - however this month I was given Temgesic - I assumed they had had issues sourcing the usual brands. I definitely feel different on the Temgesic - I seem to have more of a ‘hangover’ in the morning and

Hello I’ve been prescribed meloxicam to help with pain in my feet and ankles which is rendering me virtually disabled - I am wondering if this drug is known to affect restless legs ( mine are still severe despite being on buprenorphine and pregabalin…) I have also been prescribed omeprazole to help

Buprenorphine/ Temgesic
My chemist is telling me they cannot dispense Buprenorphine nor Temgesic as there is a manufacturing problem. I have to ask my GP to prescribe something else. Does anyone else have a similar problem ?

Dipyridamole didn't work for me
I was hoping to be able to come off buprenorphine so that my digestive system could return to normal, and was excited to learn about dipyridamole on this site. Several studies show that it is effective for RLS. I started with 75mg night one, then 150, and 225mg on night 3. I removed my buprenorphine
