The effects of buprenorphine (0.0125-0.2 mg kg(-1)) on the locomotor activity of rats were determined 1-2 months after ceasing a chronic treatment with morphine (20 mg kg(-1)for 28 days). In control animals buprenorphine exhibited both depressive and stimulatory actions, as repeatedly described for morphine. In post-dependent animals buprenorphine showed a depressive effect similar to that observed in naive ones. On the contrary, a persistent sensitization to the excitatory effect was observed; the degree of cross-sensitization was similar to that of morphine itself (20 mg kg(-1)). The results are discussed in terms of persistent changes in the locomotor response to opioids, possibly correlated to both drug craving and relapse.
