How long does this honeymoon last,weeks/months? Do YOU think there's a honeymoon period with m-done too ? For me it kept the cravings away and not chasing dope but that never meant I lost my longing for the real deal. I think the majority of MMT peeps prolly feel the same way but like me realize it's a waste of time and money. Does the bupe/naloxone block the dope high too? I would think the naloxone would block H too,otherwise why add it in. That would explain why Suboxone is used 99% of the time vs. Subutex which is bupe only. Anyone feel free to hypothesize your 2 cents on the subject. I also wonder if you havta start straight bupe(Subutex) in WD's too since it's the naloxone that blocks opiates' as I understand it.Unless of course bupe itself is a partial agonist/antagonist.
It's actually the bupe that blocks opiates and causes precipitated withdrawals, so subutex does it just the same as suboxone. The naloxone is actually pretty pointless in there, as it has such a low binding affinity compared to bupe, it can't attach to your receptors. So it's inactive for all intents and purposes.
And as far as the honeymoon phase in regards to methadone.. I don't know. Not really, at least not in the same with with bupe. Because methadone is a full agonist, it is much more effective at dealing with your cravings and keeping you feeling good/content. You can also up the dose and get a proportional increase in effects unlike bupe.
