Buprenorphine
I have taken buprenorphine (film under tongue) with great success for 10 months. Rls is completely under control but side effects include swollen joints upon waking - for about 30 minutes and possibly sudden gaining of belly fat in the last few months. Anyone else with those side effects? Maybe it was just Christmas cookies!

Re: Buprenorphine
Subutex (brand name for buprenorphine) is a central nervous system depressant that binds to opioid receptors in the brain that help regulate physical movement, hormones, and mood.
Effects on these important functions can factor into a person’s dietary habits, physical activity, and physiology.
This may explain weight change.
