Educational Pearls:

Opioid overdoses that are reversed with naloxone (Narcan), a mu-opioid antagonist, can precipitate acute withdrawal in some patients
Treatment of opioid use disorder with buprenorphine can also precipitate withdrawal
Opioid withdrawal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and agitation
Buprenorphine works as a partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors, which may alleviate withdrawal symptoms

The preferred dose of buprenorphine is 16 mg

Treatment of buprenorphine-induced opioid withdrawal is additional buprenorphine
Adjunctive treatments may be used for other opioid withdrawal symptoms

Nausea with ondansetron
Diarrhea with loperamide
Agitation with hydroxyzine
