Does Buprenorphine 8mg Have An Alternative That Does Not Contain Harmful Side Effects?
My son who is nearly 50years old has just started a course of Buprenorphine 2 X 8mg per day. He s not sleeping, and we are worried that taking both tablets at once will not see him through to the next day please help us as we have not been given anything other medication to counteract pain or discomfort and both worried that he could OD.
