Question: HI, MY SON AGE 43 HAS BEEN TAKING ZUBSOLV BUT IS TRYING TO STOP TAKING IT HE HAS NOT TAKEN ANY IN 4 DAYS BUT HAS NO ENERGY CHILLS THEN HOT VERY NERVIOUS ANGRY AND DON'T WANT AND HE IS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST AND IS THIS NORMAL WHEN COMMING OFF IT. HE WAS TAKING5.7MG
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Zubsolv is intended for long-term opioid replacement treatment. Stopping it abruptly without consulting a doctor will result in withdrawal. This will cause chills, sweating, diarrhea, and vomiting. This will last about a week. I recommend he talk to his prescribing doctor about tapering off this medication slowly rather than stopping abruptly.
