DrugBuyers.Com: What is, Buprenorprine HCl ?

There are two types that are marketed for opiate withdrawel. Subutex and Suboxone. If you do a search either here or on a search engine you will find much more info. Subutex is the one without the naloxone in it. This one will not give you wd symptoms. The suboxone will only if you are dependant on opiates and if you take a large dose of it. This drug was allowed to be used in addiction recovery in late 2002 I believe. Doctors who plan on weaning patients off of opiates (including methadone) have to get a special license (its called some sort of letter) to be able to treat patients. They also are only allowed to a limit of 30 patients total for treating at any given time. If someone gets off, they are allowed one new patient... There are a few websites that can give you some very great info. Just do a search. There is also a doc locator on the governments website.

Temgesic is the same as the subutex and is available from IOP's but it looks as though they are only available in 2mg (sublingal) tablets and possibly liquid???. The tablet are placed under the tongue.

I think if a US DR prescribes, they come in 8mg sublingual and possibly other mg's. However, thats all I remember about strengths. So, if this is the avenue, you are looking to go down, you should check into getting a DR, therefore you are monitored while taking it (if anything arises). Plus you could run into all kinds of issues ordering from an IOP. Nevermind that it is illegal

anyway, I thought I would give you the information I remember reading. It is very interesting when you read about how the receptors in your brain work and how this and other opiates actually work. check it out!
