Hello
The tablet you are using is to treat the opium dependence and this tablet itself is addictive if you took it in an unsupervised manner. You can not leave or continue the tablet by your own, it would worsen the situation and that will depend on the control of symptoms you experience. My advice would be to stick to your treating doctor. You would find it difficult to go regularly to the centre, but your hardship of few days could improve your life just think this way. And certainly you would be able to leave the tablet if you took supervised treatment without the breaks.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
