    There are side effects of using the medicine buprenorphine. The side effects can occur in the form of dizziness, headache and a person might feel nausea, vomiting perspiration, itchiness in the body. A persons mouth might become dry , orthostatic hypertension, difficulty in male ejaculatory system, it can also cause decrease libido and urinary retention might also occur. In some rare cases Constipation might also occur. While in some patients hepatitis with jaundice have also been reported with the use of buprenorphine and this situation can especially occur after the injection of crushed tablets.
    The dangerous side effects of buprenophine can be problem with the respiratory system, and in some cases of overdose of medicine respiratory system can fail. There is a certain amount of dosage which fall in the category of medium usage, which means that if you are using prescribed dose suggested by the doctor then this you will be safe from the serious complications that might arise from the dosage. The complications start to arise if you use excessive amount of benzodiazepines with buprenorphine. The tolerance factor also plays an important role in the patients resistance against the strong medication response.
    People who want to switch from opiates should wait until mild symptoms withdrawal happens. Failure to do so can result in developing rapid onset of intense withdrawal symptoms which is also termed as precipitated withdrawal. Similarly switching from buprenorphine to other opiods does not carry any risks and is considered safe.
