Does suboxone get you high

Answer 1

Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and nalaxone. Buprenorphine is the main active drug as the naloxone is only present to prevent misuse via injection, being a potent opioid antagonist, if injected it will send the user into immediate withdrawal syndrome. As far as buprenorphine getting you high, yes it will, however being that it is a somewhat unique opioid in that it can have both agonist and antagonist actions depending on how it is admininstered. Meaning that if it is taken while there are other opioid agonists present in the CNS, it will act as an antagonist and send the user into instant withdrawal. This is why the treating doctor will require that you are in complete withdrawal prior to administering the first dose. Again to answer your question, yes, if the patient is in withdrawal, or does not have opioid dependence, they will get "high" or "narcotized" however you want to put it. However, in most cases the high can only be achieved one time, as most patients taking it for opioid addiction are prescribed doses at or near its ceiling effect level. Being that it has an extremely long half live, the user would have to stop using the medication for several days before he/she can become "high" again. One of the dangers of Suboxone is the fact that it is such a very strong and competitive opioid, meaning that if the user were to suffer a traumatic accident in which immediate pain management is required, regular doses of morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, etc will be completely ineffective. Being that it is a competitive drug a doctor will typically move the decimal point over one spot to the left for pain management. That is if a typical patient needed to be administered 10mg IV morphine, a patient on suboxone will need 100mg IV morphine to be effective in overpowering the buprenorphine. Patients prescribed suboxone are provided with a card to carry on them at all times to alert medical help of their suboxone maintenance so that proper pain management can be delivered in case of an emergency. All in all suboxone is a wonderful drug for helping addicts get back on the right path (I personally was on it myself), but it can also be used as a recreational drug and will get you extremely "high" with intense rushes of euphoria, however dosing and re-dosing is somewhat of a roller-coaster ride considering you must enter withdrawal prior to taking it and then wait at least 2 to 3, maybe even up to 5 days for some for bupe or any other opioid to become effective in the body again. Other than all that happy fun stuff it's a hell of a good opiate to nod out to on a boring evening, I've enjoyed my first doses of it very much. Hope that helps. Oh and I feel like I must throw in the usual blah, blah, blah... I don't condone using drugs illicitly or in a manner that is inconsistent with their labeling. This answer is not to be taken as medical advice. Usage of narcotic medications without doctor supervision is not only illegal it is very dangerous and in some cases can be fatal. These are extremely powerful medications, and since people will still use them anyway, know that you are using them at your own risk! It is your life you are playing with. If your going to do it, be smart, see a doctor, or at very least do your research. Wish you the best with whatever it is your after.
Yes, in fact you can get high from suboxen. First if you do not take opiants it will act as a drug and give one a high. Next if you are taking it to aid in the withdrawls you also get high as it is taking the place of a powerful less managable opiant those users usually have to take their drug to feel normal. This is true about suboxin in the case also, meaning technically the user is a full blown getting high addict still, however this drug has considerably less painful withdrawls. Meaning its possible for most people to get off drugs who would have been gonners in the past, most of the time good support is the missing link to these peoples lives and without it they do not care about it or themselves. They are so dependent they absolutly desire it for a reason not many can figure out let alone consciensly take full responsibility for each action past and present. A feeling of personal hatred indulgence and tons of ups and downs.

Answer 2

If you take suboxone daily, then there most likely is no amount that will make you anything more than just normal. However, for someone who doesn't take it and is not currently taking opioids a tiny amount (like an 8th of a pill) can cause very strong narcotic effect. Usually long lasting nausea is common.

Answer 3

When I abused benzodiazepines, with my suboxone, I would look totally wasted and have really tiny pupils. Now, being on 2mg suboxone only, I look fine. Although I have been told I have smaller pupils now and again. Its wierd because my eyes dont always look buzzed on subs, just sometimes.
