buprenorphine 10mcg patches and nightmares
Hi, Has anyone else got any experience being on buprenorphine 10mcg patches? I have been on them since December but since I have been on them I am getting awful terrors every time I close my eyes and doze or try and sleep, it’s very upsetting and scary. The patches seem to give me insomnia and I’m forcing

The RLS nightmare
My name is Tim and RLS sucks!!!!! In 2013 i was put on disability because I have flat back syndrome and it has caused chronic pain for over 20 years non stop 24/7 and I am addicted to opioids. On June 20th of this yr I received a dbl laminectomy on my l4 and l5 vertebra and the knife was removed. Now

Ropinirole vs Buprenorphine!
I had a phone call from 1 Dr. who told me that Ropinirole would cure my RLS and was annoyed that I wouldn't take them. He decided to get the head of the Surgery to phone me to try to put pressure on me ! I did say that the 10 mcg had helped me a little bit but I would like a stronger patch . A few day's

The problem with Buprenorphine, BTBD9 and serotonin syndrome
This is for those of you who are really struggling with the remedies for RLS. Apologies for not referencing all my research but I’ve been completely wiped out for weeks now. However I wanted to share some insights I’ve had recently and hope it inspires thoughts and research. Adenosine is a chemical

Medical cannabis for RLS/PLMD
Has anybody tried and had good results with Medical Cannabis for RLS/PLMD. Looking at this in case Buprenorphine does not work. So far on 0.4 sublingual tablet, severe side effects during day and not working at night now!! Worked for first 3 nights. Beginning to think that husband cannot take any prescribed

More questions!
My Dr. , eventually, agreed to giving me Buprenorphine and I changed from 12 mcg. Fentanyl patch to a 10 mcg Buprenorphine patch . The first night was good with my leg's feeling a bit strange but not restless and I was slightly, hopeful! Then last night ( the 5th !) my leg's started to get painful

pregabalin vs buprenorphine
I’ve been off pramipexole for a bit over two weeks. I had a fairly easy transition off it thanks to buprenorphine and cannabis, along with pointers picked up here about iron supplements, diet, etc. I started pregabalin but stopped taking it after 10 days or so because of the comments about it not fully

Buprenorphine withdrawal during day
Husband taking 0.4 Buprenorphine sublingual at night. Getting some sleep at last, approx 5/6 hours waking every 2 hrs but at least some sleep. Trouble is he is getting opioid withdrawal next day inc RLS. How do we get over this, anyone else had this problem. Do not want to take more opioid during day

BUPRENORPHINE SUBLINGUAL BREAKDOWN AFTER 9 MONTHS TOTAL TREATMENT SUCCESS.
A week ago I titrated from the very successful 0.6 mg Buprenorphine sublingual I’d been on for 9 months during which time my PLMS disappeared completely. But they returned 7 days or so back so with my doctors’ reluctant support the dosage was increased to 2 x 0.4 tablets = 0.8. Five nights at the

1 more question?! Maybe more!
You will all be getting fed up with me ! Today I started the 10 mcg Buprenorphine patch...changed from 12 mcg Fentanyl patch which didn't do much for pain and definitely nothing for the rls ! How long, approximately, does it take for Buprenorphine to kick in and start to help....hopefully? I wasn't

buprenorphine dose
I’m in the US, and just started a Suboxone Rx two weeks ago at dosage of 2/.5. I’d like to get lower dosage if I can, but I don’t see any US companies advertising the .2/.05 tablets that you have in UK. I’ve found that using 1/4 strip every other day works fine for me. I assume the long half-life

Switched from Methadone at 10 mg to Buprenorphine 10 mcg
Good Morning, As of June 2023, I began with 5 mg of methadone, and gradually increased it to 20 mg by August. I reported to the forum in early November, a transformation occurred, with the leg spasms virtually gone, caused by RLS at night. I began tapering off, and reduced it to 7.5 mg and have remained

Escape from Augmentation
I have continued to make progress on my path to getting my dopamine receptors back to somewhere near normal. I last used a DA patch in September. I am using buprenorphine patches and pregabalin as RLS blockers to assist in the process. There is some improvement (perhaps 60%) in my sleep regime and in

Tramadol augmentation, what next?
I've received plenty of great info from previous posts and need some help again. I've been on tramadol periodically for last 2 years, currently take 50mg once in evening. I understand that's a low dose for RLS but it has been sufficient to eliminate my night time symptoms. Until recently. I've started

Update on...Buprenorphine seems to be failing! Help!
Well, thank you for all the replies and the wisdom which has been offered. I saw my GP yesterday and explained the situation, told him of the solutions others had found (Lotte) and then asked him what his advice was. He thought about it and offered taking Sifrol as a first solution which I told him I'd

Escape from DA Augmentation
Thanks to the support of several contributors to this forum and especially Joolsg, LotteM, and my patient GP, I have been able to plan a route which seems at last to be positive and I feel I should post a note on my current situation. I am 3 months+ since my last DA rotigotine patch and at which point

RETURN OF PLMD AFTER 9 MONTHS OF BURPRENOROHINE SUBLINGUAL.
I started taking 0.6 mg of Buprenorphine in sublingual tablets about 9 months ago. My PLMs were instantly eliminated - a result unobtained via other medication. Although I had to offset an insomnia side effect, the Bupe largely restored my sleep architecture and 8 years of wrecked sleep and very distressing
