Common Questions and Answers about Naloxone narcan
suboxone
Suboxone is prescribed for treatment of severe opiate addiction. It contains buprenorphine and naloxone - otherwise known as NarcAn. It doesn't get you high and it's dangerous. It will block the high of opiates or throw you into withdrawl if you are dependent. The 8mg pills are orange hexagons. Seriously dude, don't take it, you won't like it.
wait2long knows her sub but the narcan/naloxone in the suboxone will make peole sicker if drugs are still on board than subutex..unfortunately people can even use on subutex they just have to take more/alot more to get high...it is given to people whom the doctor feels are at lower risk for abuse/the naloxone can also cause headaches more so than the subutex...and some have a problem tolerating that...
does anyone know how long narcan stays in your system? i was given two viles last night around 11:30, and i did not even take anything. long story..........the worst of all wds set in right after they gave it to me in my iv. i tried to take some today for my pain and really bad rls but it got worse?? someone else hold my meds for me.
I had not heard that naloxone worked against cravings but if u take something u wont feel it so in a counter way...it does...your mind is in control of cravings...not the naloxone...but knowing it is a waste of time to take a narc when on sub would make cravings much better i would think...researched and have been working with my pain doctor closely in my spare time studying his sub patients..I have taken an interest in it and we ar close so he lets me without divulging any confisential info...
Abritt is right on with the technical info, many people make the mistake of thinking Narcan, or Naloxone, is what causes precipitated withdrawal and blocks opiate receptors. Buprenorphine is intended as a part of a complete recovery program. Subs are powerful opiates and should be used with knowledge, caution, and respect. Nursegirl is right on about some kind or meetings and aftercare, cutting sources, and tell doctors and a friend about your recovery.
also have heard that sometimes the naloxone can cause depression probs and other issues and there are times my wife says i act like back on opiates again! but ive been totally clean for like a year and some now! she seems to be worried about subutex because its a pill and not a film. has anyone had this come up before and how did you deal with it. also seeing lots of stuff in the news now about how the maker of suboxone isnt playing fair and this crap is waaaayyyyy expensive!
I am allergic to naloxone. Should I talk to my doc about switching to subutex? Ive taken both and feel good off subutex but terrible on suboxone. I cant sleep and have no appetite. I have a note from my family physician staing this. Would that help,its either that or go back to methadone, which is not an option, please help!
The Subutex formula was created for Patients with a known or suspected hypersensitivity to Naloxone (In some patients, Naloxone can cause excrutiating headaches), And women who are pregnant. In some clinics, Subutex is used as the Induction drug, and then switched to Suboxone for maintenance purposes. Utilizing monotherapy with Subutex, the physician can better pinpoint any reactions during induction.
methadone does narcan reduce time of serious withdrawal by making the front end worse........
These docs, nurses and medics give narcan way too freely. I don't think he will have any residule problems and he should have never been given the shot. I was under the impression that it is only to be given when a person is out. I was given narcan shots twice when awake (without my knowlege) on methadone and suffered big time. It even left me traumitized. Once the medics gave me a shot a lied about it.
In the OR suite, more IV Versed, INhaled oxygen, IV Fentanyl (A potent opiate), followed by IV Propofol (This actually is what knocks you out), and the IV Pancuronium Bromide (For muscle relaxation, so the machines can breathe for you)
It is common at times to administer reversal drugs depending on how much was given and your response when you come out of anesthesia.
Precipitated withdrawals will come if either Subutex or Suboxone is taken. A common misconception is that the knocking off of the original opiate is done by the Naloxone, but in fact is caused by the Bupe. The Naloxone is only active if taken by an IV route. If taken sublingually as directed, the Naloxone doesn't factor into the equation at all.
