I was put on insanely high doses of Buprenorphine for a codiene dependency which has bought complete destruction to my life. I was on it for 4 months last summer and came off when my body began to swell and I had extreme oedema. It was the most horrific withdrawal and my sleep has never returned. It has been HELL to put it mildly. I called you clinic last year and spoke to a gentleman who advised me it would be easier to go back on a short acting opiod and taper of that. I have done so but it has not really helped. I feel like I almost have brain damage from the Buprenorhpine.
