Hi,

I have read your query. It seems like you have substituted suboxone with Buprenorphine now and experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Let me tell you this. Both the drugs are same in composition except that Suboxone has Naloxone along with Buprenorphine.

Yes, the withdrawal is because of not having the component Naloxone in the new drug that you are taking.

In my view, since you have started on Buprenorphine now, you must continue taking it. The withdrawal symptoms from Naloxone would disappear in a week's time.
I wish you good health. Take care!
