If you can do it in 1mg 2 week steps you will have little problems other then pain increases.

I recently did jump of the Butrans patch and the withdrawal is wicked. Rather deal with an on off oxycodone regiment. That seems to not be for everyone but the Buprenorphine (Subotex, Suboxone) in pain management quantity doesn't work. Right now I am living the life of Ibuprofen, Paracetamol with medical pot and it is the devil with the pot being the most effective. Problem with it is that when I medicate my mind doesn't work. I does still work on Oxy. But the dependance and tolerance problem and withdrawal issues make it a much worse choice other then isolated prn doses below the dependance level making it only one of many methods to control pain rather then being a primary treatment.
