Yes: Not sure what info you are looking for. Buprenorphine is a Schedule III drug and can cause physical dependence and therefore patients can experience a withdrawal syndrome if stopped abruptly so it is best to taper to avoid withdrawal effects, some of which can be dangerous. Please speak with your prescribing physician for guidance.
