Hey guys ive been creeping around this forum for while
and since there seem to be alot of helpful people
around i decided to try to find an answer for this one that has been bothering
me for awhile now..
I recently joined a recovery program that gives you Subutex every day
(increasing doses) and "take home" Suboxone for weekends.Its been just
a couple of weeks since i joined and before that i was preety clueless
regarding bupe and the way its working,and still after searching the
internet i feel unsure of a couple of things,especially since most of the posts
regarding this matter are relatively old.
So here it goes:
If someone(addicted to opiates) takes the Subutex INCORRECTLY and swallows it instead of using it
sublingually,will the buprenorphine lose most of its effect INCLUDING
the part that "antagonizes" other opiates?
In other words,will he be able to use other opiates on top/after and feel them/get high?
Moreover,is the above considered safe(swallowing instead of placing under tongue)?
Ive heard and read stories of how it will make you sick and the agonist part weakens
but the antagonist is still in effect, to other people saying that they are swallowing
it daily for months and they are completely fine,except that they can still use and feel
other opiates on top on a daily basis.
Please if you can help from either knowledge or experience it'll be highly appreciated!
