We are glad that you are not using any opioid drugs now. There is no relationship between using buprenorphine and being positive for hcv. Your medication for addiction is best determined by your prescribing physician. However if you are not satisfied you may contact us confidentially.

Yes it can be quitted but journey of recovery is not as short as 1 month. In most case it takes around 4-6 month, in some it might take a year or so, but not with tapentadol alone.

Dear Kamal,
Are you dependent on narcotics? Buprenorphine makes this addictive habit less risky. You may not overdose and die of narcotics. With buprenorphine, less withdrawal symptoms. All the other tablets may be for your associated mental health issues or management of withdrawal symptoms or for medical complication of your habit of taking narcotics. Please decide for something less harmful so that you can have better quality of life.

In view of your opioid dependence, you should get admitted at a psychiatric hospital or an approved de-addiction center for the management of your illness. If even after your leg amputation, you are unable to control the substance use, that itself shows that the severity of the illness is quite high. So, contact your nearest hospital at the earliest.
