Pain
"I have been prescribed 8mg sub. Buprenorphine. One a day for over 2 years. I cut one into for 4 to 8 pieces and take tiny piece a once or twice daily. My pain is manageable and a 30 tab prescription lasts for 2 to 3 months. I no longer depend on opiates and no longer wake up in morning with body cramps and pain in my entire body from opiates wearing off. My pain isn&#039;t as intense. When I was taking opiates my pain got worse by the day. My tolerance to them grew by month. I don&#039;t know why this drug isn&#039;t used more in the US. It took me 3 days to make the change from daily high doses of opiates to buprenorphine. I did take most of a full tab those 3 mornings. If you REALLY WANT to stop opiates and take very little medication I recommend."
