suboxone

415399 tn?1209504302 and they are always received. Suboxone (buprenorphine) is unique in that it is in the narcotic class (meperidine family) - but in addition to agonist qualities it is self limiting with an antagonist property. After inputting so much of a dose the brain shuts off the receptors and will not uptake any more opiates.
199177 tn?1490498534 Like other opioids commonly abused, buprenorphine is capable of producing significant euphoria. Data from other countries indicate that buprenorphine has been abused by various routes of administration (sublingual, intranasal and injection) and has gained popularity as a heroin substitute and as a primary drug of abuse.
Avatar n tn Let's say you did do it. There will be two possible effects: 1. There will be no benefit to injecting it as the naloxone will block out the buprenorphine just as fast and the buprenorphine could start working. Which there isn't much if any euphoria from buprenorphine anway - so I don't see the point in the first place. 2. If you already have a high level of buprenorphine or any other opiate already in action - you will go into precipitated withdrawal from the naloxone.
1548080 tn?1293869794 Buprenorphine is the active ingredient in both Subutex and Suboxone. It is a synthetic opiate with a long half life of some 36 hours. It is supposed to be used only as a short-term tool along with a detox and rehab recovery program under a doctor's supervision. The idea with Suboxone is to stop cravings and the harmful behavior that stems from your use and pursuit of a high from illegal drug abuse.
Avatar f tn Yeah buprenorphine has been shown to counter depression/anxiety/mood swings - as it should by its very effect on the brain. But that's the problem with most opiates, and why so many people fall into the trap of becoming addicted to them originally (self-medicating for depression). Buprenorphine specifically though, tends to provide more of a stabilization of mood as opposed to most other opiates that produce strong feelings of elation and euphoria (getting high).

Avatar m tn Zubsolv comes in sublingual tablet sizes of 5.7-mg/1.4-mg (buprenorphine/naloxone), and 1.4-mg/0.
1405767 tn?1282634598 The patients were enrolled in a 2-week run-in phase, during which time they converted to transdermal buprenorphine or a placebo patch. Rescue analgesia with buprenorphine sublingual tablets 0.2 mg was allowed as needed. The researchers defined response as a mean pain intensity reduction of 5 points on a 10-point scale and a mean daily need for two or fewer buprenorphine sublingual tablets.
Avatar m tn last to last year when opium was not available i stared taking buprenorphine injections...to not let the withdrawls fall upon. buprenorphine I.V injections changed my life from heaven to hell. i went to a rehab and quitted opium and subuxone injections... but the things fell apart....my feeling of well being dimished... i was in depression for about a year and still in depression...even i am taking subuxone sublingually but it does not produce a feeling of well being...my life has become hell.
5023383 tn?1362471442 s a mild euphoria when you take the pill under your tongue, but that passes within a half hour). It kills your pain same as any opiate, but it doesn't FEEL like an opiate as it lacks side effects of clouded sensorium, relaxation of the large skeletal muscles - and that's because it's a partial opioid agonist. I just posted this to give anyone with questions the benefit of my experience.
Avatar f tn My husband today has been doing research found Buprenorphine and a doctor nearby us who prescribes this instead of Meth. Should we look into this more. When we got home last night from Doctors my daughter was convinced that she wanted to go the meth route and so the battle began. We told her to come on this site look at everything that I had written so far about her and read all your suggestions. Should we look into the doctor's who prescribe buprenorphine or let her go the meth route.
1141981 tn?1261076243 I could not find anything about class actions suits against it but here In October 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved buprenorphine monotherapy product, Subutex®, and a buprenorphine/naloxone combination product, Suboxone®, for use in opioid addiction treatment. The combination product is designed to decrease the potential for abuse by injection.
Avatar f tn I am in medical hospital and they want me to detox off methadone with help of buprenorphine does anyone know about this drug or used it . I am scared and need feedback ASAP.
Avatar m tn Can anyone help me with some knowledge of this medication????? I have a relative who's suffered badly for years and tried every clinic and therapy and medication and nothing helped till now. He's lately been prescribed this buprenorphine and he swears it's just about given him his life back. My question is it a narcotic, therefore addictive. Does it have the nasty side effects of oxy or other pain meds.
1196338 tn?1265163728 Hello, I am new to this community, I suppose I should tell you a littlebit about myself first.. Well, I am a CP patient who was in a MVA accident a couple of years ago, and have been taking opiates for my pain. I am a little shy to ask this because I don't want to be judged as being an addict or something, but I always thought that you could tell that a narcotic was working based on that warm fuzzy feeling you get..
Avatar f tn i feel amazing i am not like crazy happy but i am content and i am kind of anxious about how bad i will feel once the euphoria is gone
Avatar f tn I have been on subutex for the last 2.5 years. My doctor put me on it for pain management because I am also an addict in recovery and he said that other opiates would lead to a relapse. I have been detoxing for months now and after getting to .5mg/day and staying there for three weeks I have cut down even more to 0mg for the last two days and nights are awful becuase I sweat and wake up freezing and soaked. It aslo feels like detoxing off of valium all over again.
Avatar n tn Subutex is buprenorphine only... It does not contain naloxone Suboxone- is buprenorphine plus naloxone.. Naloxone is actually NOT the blocker.. it is in there to prevent the use of it IV and was to help discourage diversion of the streets.. hence why more people are prescibed Suboxone. Buprenorphine is what does the blocking. the drug itself at certain levels will prevent other opiates from attaching to the receptors. So both drugs block opiates.
Avatar f tn Buprenorphine, marketed under the brand name Suboxone, was developed as a safer alternative for treating people addicted to heroin and painkillers compared to methadone. It was also designed to be resistant to abuse, but it hasn't turned out that way.
Avatar n tn Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces less euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin.
Avatar f tn The flip side of all of this is that tolerance reaches a maximum at about 4 mg of buprenorphine, and further increase in dose of buprenorphine does not cause substantial increase in tolerance. Tolerance and withdrawal are two sides of the same coin; the lack of withdrawal going from 32 to 8 mg of buprenorphine is consistent with no significant change in tolerance across that range. So in my opinion, being on 32 vs 4 mg of Suboxone doesn't raise your tolerance.
1387429 tn?1279672439 The Naloxone in it blocks the effects of opioids. However the Buprenorphine in it is an opioid in itself that is similar to other opioids. It produces less of a euphoria. The theory is the combination of the two meds in the pill is spose to give you a dose of a less euphoric opiode as well as a blocker for the opiods you are taking at the time. The problem that occurs is that because suboxin has an opiode in it, you still can have the physical wds.
Avatar f tn Thanks Jaybay! I did know about the actions and uses of buprenorphine and .... and the fact that Suboxone has the additional naloxone component to prevent injection abuse. I didn't know that Fentanyl could "knock bupe right off its pins." You're right, there must be more but I can't even find at you are saying about Fentanyl on line.
Avatar f tn Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist and antagonist of the opioid receptors in the central nervous system which means that when its molecule binds to a receptor, it will transduce only a partial response in contrast to a full agonist such as morphine.
