Buprenorphine (brand name Suboxone or Subutex) is a life saving treatment for opioid use disorder. However, it can be a double edged blade as it can cause intense discomfort if taken too soon after a patient's last dose of opioid drugs. These painful symptoms are known as "precipitated withdrawal" and include muscle and joint pain, sweating, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, anxiety, restlessness, tremors, and insomnia. Once precipitated withdrawal begins, there is little that can be done to treat it, aside from waiting for it to pass. In this video, I describe why precipitated withdrawal occurs and how it can be prevented!
