Mark, you are missing my point.

Stopping high dose Oxycodone suddenly
Is not much different from having buprenorphine
Bump some off the receptors. In both cases
The pain receptors are blocked an withdrawal
Will occur to some extent.

You stated on this thread that you stopped high dose
Oxy with No withdrawal. That is the reason
I am posting here today.

Buprenorphine is classed as pain drug
And is used for chronic pain in patch form
And also sublingual use and by injection.

It might compete at the receptor level and
Create a form of withdrawal , but totally removing
Oxy will also deprive the pain receptors as
Well. Withdrawal will come from either
Way and only the intensity will vary depending
On the person , dose and length of time
Involved with the treatment.
