Well, I assume so.
> How much were you taking a day? What brand?
There's only one brand available in the U.S., Buprenex. I was taking 1.5cc/day (0.45mg), as I recall.

> Buprenorphine (Temgesic) 0.2mg x 50 tabs $43.00Temgesic isn't available in the U.S. You'd have to order it.
Good luck...hope it works for you, if you decide to try it.
