Considering Buprenorphine as my final option to quit?

I am at my wits end trying to quit dihydrocodeine

I won’t dwell on the history, same story as many others, prescribed for back pain 5 years ago and has escalated from there, currently i purely use it to feel normal and stave off WDs, its become so much part of my life that i function completely; work, kids, household everything..in fact my life has somewhat improved generally over the past 5 years, weirdly

However i am either just taking it all the time (which is far from ideal) or trying to taper/cut down and dealing with intermittent withdrawals..RLS, sweats, anxiety and so on-which always ultimately fails. For the record my daily does ranges between 750mg to about 1200mg.. depending on various..

Cold Turkey is not an option, can’t take that kind of time off, tbh i can barely function 8 hours after a dose

I am considering buprenorphine but i know nothing about it other than what i’ve read on forums..i have a source of legitimate branded tablets. What would the recommended dose be given my current DHC intake, how often do you take it, how quickly do i taper down etc, how does it make you feel, side-effects etc, i.e will i be able to continue to function as normal, is this the right thing to do 😂

I would be so grateful for as much guidance as possible, i am somewhat in the dark, would be phenomenal to hear a bit about it, especially in view of my situation
