well... the issue is you're trading one for the other. There are two schools of thought on treating withdrawl with other medications like this. Make SURE you go to a doctor that is board certified in addiction, they have a lot of laws on how many pills a general practitioner can dispense. they will prescribe an amount then ween you off slowly. I think it's worth a shot if you believe that you are becoming more addicted to the subutex or suboxone, then you need to enter a rehab program with more strict protocols. good luck.

I haven't heard much about how successful it is for opiate withdrawal, but considering what it is, and the long half-life (about 36 hours), it sounds promising.
I know you can get it from an *online* Canadian pharmacy, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's legal to have it in Canada. The last I heard, they were not prescribing it there.
