Opioid withdrawal: To prevent symptoms of withdrawal from the opioid effect of methadone, the best strategy is to start subutex slowly and steadily. If you would do it abruptly, there will be likely to suffer fatigue, pain, lacrimation, yawning, shakes or tremors, muscle tension, insomnia, etc. Follow your doctor's recommendations closely to succeed in the treatment of opioid dependence.
