Answers:

My husband was first on buprenorphine in the form of subutex....now he has been on the buprenorphine (transtec) patches for over 7 years for pain relief associated with MS....funny thing is, he was prescribed subutex as a form of withdrawal aid from heroin addiction which was a result of inadequate pain management for the ms in the first place.....I really think you need to take advice from the prescribing practitioner here....but I know that you need to do it very slowly over a longer term rather than quick to avoid withdrawal symptoms and one step at a time so I really do think professional guidance is the best way....good luck x
