Can Trying To Wean Off Of Suboxone Lead To Restless Leg Syndrome?

I m trying to taper off of suboxone. I m down to about 1/2 mg every three days. The problem is that after the third day, when I try to fall asleep, I get symptoms like restless leg syndrome over my entire body. Is there something I can do to alleviate this horrible feeling of having to move my whole body nonstop?

thank you for your concern. as per history you got restless leg syndrome during weaning off from suboxone but it doesnot cause restless leg syndrome. so for that you have to consult psychiatrist as their might be some other cause and to cure from restles leg syndrome.
