Hi,

I have another question... My bf stopped taking buprenex. Apparently he became addicted to it and was getting withdrawal symptoms when he stopped. I didn't know that was possible? He is now taking Methadone for 10 days and he said when that is complete he is off opiates completely. I hold it for him and give it to him as needed.

Is this common? I was searching on the web and was surprised that he would go from buprenorphine to methadone.

Any info that could be provided would be very helpful. Thanks.
