I currently take suboxone and i will tell you the real deal about them. As stated above, yes suboxone is buprenorphine and naltrex (or Narcan)in a 4:1 ratio. Our brains have 3 different receptors that accept opiates, delta kappa & mu. Mu seems to be the receptor that causes the body to become dependant on different opiate substancs. Since suboxone is a "partial-opiate" it only acts on delta and kappa receptors, thus relieving the users withdraw symptoms. The Naltrex(or Narcan) which blocks opiates from binding to receptors, stops them from working. Naltrex(narcan) has a half-life of 2-3 hours... which means it is active in your body for 6 hours, 8 hours just to be safe. Since i take suboxone daily i know you can take an opiate the same day. For example: I wake up at 10am take my suboxone and by 8pm that night I can take an oxy and not go through any withdraw. In reguards to this drug not having a market on the street and the do not crush warning above, that is all BS. I have lived in 3 major citys and have found markets for suboxone in all of them. Also, if you crush up a suboxone and snort it, it will be stronger than taking it sublinguily and you will not withdraw that is a myth, believe me i have done it. I do not inject anything so i will not address that issue. Party safely please people.
