Brief Answer:
Respected XXXX,some extent withdrawals but lesser intensity with Oxy.
Detailed Answer:
Respected XXXX, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Zubsolv withdrawl symptoms are dependent on many factors as
- since how much time consuming ( long time more )
- ratio of buprenorphine to naloxone in it ( high ratio more )
- cold turkey vs. tapering ( immediate withdrawl as cold turkey more )
- individual physiology & other factors like stress, social support, alcohol,
smoking ( more for anxious , alocholic , smoker )
* I would recommend to taper dose from 5.6 mg bid to 5.6 mg once daily for y
days before switching to Oxy .
* Certain amount of withdrawl symptoms predictable medically to some extent
as - agitation - anger - anxiety - body ache - brain fog - craving - depression
- diarrhea - dizziness - fatigue - headache - insomnia - heart rate changes -
irritability - joint pain - mood change - nausea - sweating etc .
which will be less when you start Oxy .
* I will suggest Oxy also in bid dosage initially for 5-7 days & then immediately
taper to once daily for its early quit .
* Highly recommended during Zubsolv dose tapering time :
- avoid smoking / alcohol totally
- do regular basis light exercises, meditations & YOGA for 1 hour daily without
failure which is most important
- engage more in social activities / likely activities
- maintain hydrations , nutritious diet
- manage sound sleep of 6-8 hours
- avoid stress / anxiety episodes
- Be Positive attitude for every moment of the precious life
- advisable to do under someone`s information, if any untoward incident that
person can immediately handle it
Hope this clears your doubts.
