WE  ARE SEEKING HELP WITH FINDING WITH FINDING OUT ABOUT SUBUTEX. HOW DO YOU TAKE IT? HOW LONG FOR AND WHAT ARE THE SIDE AFFECTS? IS IT BETTER THAN BRITLOFEX AND IS IT TRUE THAT YOU DO TWO TURKEYS AT THE END OF IT? HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKYOU.

Buprenorphine (Subutex) is the best medication available for getting off narcotics with minimal or no withdrawal symptoms.  There is no established protocol for its use in narcotic withdrawal; however, depending on what country you live in it is available in injections or pills.  I have found that the best way to use it is to take an injection once every 6 hours on the first day, once every eight hours on the second, once every 12 hours on the third day, one-half every twelve hours on day four and one-half on day five.  It is a far better medication for withdrawal than Britlofex.  Most people experience very little withdrawal if used properly.
