No i had the effects plus the withdrawal from 2 mgs all the way to 12mgs which i am currently on! Still some effects, way better than methadone, but some of the things listed are pretty scary, as mentioned compared to bupe alone, which in clinical studies is barely anything! I'd hate to read a package insert for methadone but the drug never came with any! The major things are lack of sleep, muscle cramps, pelvic pain, back pain (scoliosis) fibromyalgia.
