Is it possible to quit buprenorphine cold turkey?

Hello,

Everyone reacts differently to medications (absorption/adjusting/ time of elimination of the medication from your system/bloodstream), benefits, possible risks, potential side effects, interactions, withdrawal symptoms, etc..
We are unique, so what someone can achieve/accomplish in one way does not necessarily mean you (your organism) will react/achieve/accomplish it in the same way.

Having mentioned the above, I suggest that before you take matters into your own hands and discontinue the use of this opioid medication (although you have been on it for almost 2 weeks) abruptly/cold turkey, you inform your DR. first.
There is a high potential of risks for withdrawals if stopped suddenly/cold turkey, and your safety must come first, it is not like stopping Tylenol (acetaminophen) cold turkey, this medication is a CSA schedule 3 for a reason.
