Suboxone - Precipitated withdrawal and how to avoid it?

It is the withdrawal symptoms you start experiencing when you take Buprenorphine while you are not already in moderate to severe spontaneous withdrawal from opioids. It happens because the buprenorphine you take displaces all the full agonist opioids from their receptors abruptly, which lead to quick development of withdrawal Symptoms. This can lead to very unpleasant experience with Buprenorphine introduction and might even lead to failure with induction. These symptoms can be life threatening in rare occasions requiring an ER visit.
