Xonedone, i cant totally understand where your worries come from. I just wanted to let you knoe incase you didnt already that buprenorphine does not have the same opiate blocking effect at lower doses that it does at higher doses. Im assuming thats the reason you want to be in wd for your surgery, to make sute you get adequate pain relief? Many people who take bupe for pain relief purposes at lower doses, often take a full agonist for breakthrough pain.

You also mentioned that 2 weeks into 1mg you are now starting to expirence wd. Have you tried splitting your dose? Ive read alot of expirences on here where the person tried a split dose and it really helped them. The reason is because bupe acts more like a SOA at lower doses, so often once a day dosening dosent last the full 24 hours anymore. Just throwing out ideas here. Also the "ababba" method where you would kinf of stagger back and fourth between the new dose anf the old dose until you are more stable on the new dose.

Now that your surgery is just a few days away i can totally understand your concerns you dont want to have diareah or puke. If its okay with your surgeon or whoever you would have to get the okay from, take immodium. The active ingredient in immodium, loperamide is actually an opiate. Loperamide dose not cross the blood brain barrier so it does not act on the cenral nervous system like other opiates but it does work on the opiate receptors throughout your digestive system, so it can really help with diareah.
