I am taking tablets buprenorphine2 mg (addnok 2 mg). I take 2 tablets 1 in morning and 1 in Evening. I wanna leave it. How I can leave it?

Question

Sir, it's a drug used for the treatment of opioid addiction and it's not advisable to self medicate or taper on your own. Any addict seeking treatment needs to be done under close supervision. The doctor will taper down if needed or if the doctor thinks you don't need it anymore.
Please don't use online consultation for this problem, its recommended that you visit a good de-addiction center and if you are facing some side effects with this and you want to stop, the doctor there will prescribe you another drug instead.

If you are taking the tablets with a prescription from a psychiatrist, we recommend that you consult your psychiatrist regarding going off of buprenorphine. It usually is tapered very slowly over 2-3 months depending on the dosage. If you need further help online, you are welcome to consult us. Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, an appointment for a confidential and private consultation you may do so by contacting the help desk of Lybrate.
