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.

Dear lybrate-user,
You brother having Hep B, C and HIV is a rare and difficult case to manage. More so, such a patient can not be managed through internet. I need to see him, investigate him accordingly.
2) Hep. C is now curable, and excellent medicines are available at less than 1% of international cost.
3) Hep. B treatment should be covered in HIV treatment itself.
4) There is something wrong with HIV Viral Load Zero, can you send me the report.

I have horrible back pain. I have been perceived very very strong pain medication and it does nothing. I have been on codeine, tramadol, hydrocodone, morphine, dilaudid, oxycodone, buprenorphine, and hydromorphone. Nothing works. I have been given that medication by pills, shots and i.v's. I have been on 4 32 mg of hydromorphone and it does nothing for me in fact I don't even feel an side effects. This medication should knock out an elephant but it does nothing at all for my pain. Medication that should bring a 400lbs to the ground does not even effect me and 160lbs woman. I don't take the medication regularly so it should help with my pain but nothing. I'm also on 30 mg of diazepam and that to does nothing for me. I feel like i'm going to be looked at as a drug seeker. That could not be any further from the truth. I just want pain relief. I can't explain why my body just does not respond properly to any drugs. I'm really at a loss right now. My pain is so bad I can't roll over in bed and when it spikes I can't breathe.

If you are in good condition as you say, you are indeed fortunate. But you must consult a doctor before quitting this addiction. It is safe but the doctor may want to examine you thoroughly before recommending a proper manner for deaddiction. Otherwise, you may also visit a hospital for deaddiction over two weeks.

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.

I am a 41 year old woman. I have suffered from generalized anxiety for years, treated with desvenlafaxine 50 mg/day and clonazepam 1 mg/day, very well managed and without panic attacks for years. A year ago, shortly after having cavity, I started having a lot of fatigue. At the end of december 2022, the fatigue was disabling and I began to have paresthesia, a lot of pain, brain fog, and hyperacusis. I had many tests done and finally in february I was diagnosed with post viral chronic fatigue syndrome due to epstein barr or covid and was treated with modafinil 400 mg/day, magnesium 400 mg/day and vitamin d3. Two weeks ago I saw a new neurologist and told him that I was in a lot of pain. He put me on lyrica-pregabalin (i'm on 50 mg/day now but need to increase to 75 mg tomorrow) and 20 mg transdemic buprenorphine patches for a month, a treatment he often prescribes for fibromyalgia pain. He told me to take this new medication without removing any drugs that I was already taking. Everything was going well until 5 days ago I started feeling weird. I have been sleeping very badly for 2 days and I am very worried. I have a hard time falling asleep and in the end I sleep like 4 hours a day waking up a thousand times during the night. Today I looked at the graphs of the apple watch during sleep and I have dropped from an average of 13. 7rpm (breaths per minute) two weeks ago to 9.8rpm now. Tonight I hit 8rpm and 91% saturation. I have never had such low data until I started this medication. Now I read that transdermal buprenorphine can cause serious breathing problems especially if taken with benzodiazepines and lyrica. The doctor says that he sees no problem in the data but if the patches don't help my pain, I can stop them. They help me a lot with the pain, but I am afraid of the side effects. In addition to the issue of sleep, it gave me great difficulty urinating and swallowing. What do you think? Should I suspend the patches?

Hi.
I would suggest you visit your physician and check on the drug interactions. Pain killers and anti-anxiety pills can be addictive and you may develop tolerance. Additionally, you can experience deleterious side-effects. As mentioned earlier, psychotherapy can be helpful. The side effects you are experiencing can be worsened by an underlying disorder. For example, pain, sleep problems, fatigue, brain fog etc. Can signal anxiety. Emdr is known to be helpful for pain management and intense ...more

Hello,
Buprocare contains buprenorphine which is used in opioid substitution therapy. Buprenorphine is a long acting opioid agent which is medically safe and pure.
So stopping buprenorphine suddenly will cause withdrawal symptoms. You need detoxification if you want to completely stop medication. Consult your psychiatrist to help you get out of it. You can contact me for further help.

Hello the mri suggests a mild bony compression fracture with compression of spinal nerves at certain areas. If the pain persists despite rest and traction, it's advisable to undergo surgery to release the compression on the nerves. Long term nerve compression can lead to intractable pain and weakness in legs also.
