“Can you get withdrawal from suboxone?”
My friend was on suboxone for his addiction, but now that he's stopped taking it, I noticed that he's been off. Like he's going through a withdrawal... Is this common with suboxone?

Although the withdrawal syndrome is often more mild than with other opioids, suboxone does produce a withdrawal syndrome.
Yes, there can be withdrawal symptoms from tapering/weaning off buprenorphine (suboxone) I would suggest discussing with the prescribing physician your symptoms. There are other medications that can assist for the tapering period if you are experiencing insomnia, restless legs, diarrhea, muscle and bone aches, and mood changes.
