Get the pull sumo mug.Suboxone is a medication that was approved in 2000 to treat opioid/heroin dependence. It contains the medication Buprenorphine which is a medication that blocks other opiates from reaching the receptors in your brain (basically saying that if you take a Suboxone you can not get "high" from heroin or any other opiates). Suboxone also contains a medication containing Naloxone. Naloxone is used to reverse overdoses of opiates. Naloxone does not interfere with buprenorphine's effects when Suboxone is taken sublingually (dissolving under your tounge) as prescribed. The naloxone is there to deter people from dissolving Suboxone and injecting it, b/c the naloxone can cause severe withdrawal symptoms very rapidly. Suboxone comes in 8mg & 2mg strengths. They are stop sign shaped and are orange and taste like lemon-lime. There is also Subutex which is only buprenorphine, w/o naloxone and these may be used to start people on treatment for opioid dependency.

Get the Suboxone mug.An orange tablet containing Buprenorphine and Naloxone in a 4:1 ratio, used for detox or maintenance treatment of opiate addiction (to heroin or other narcotic painkillers). Methadone is used for the same purposes. Pills come in 2 and 8 mg dosages. Subutex is similar to Suboxone, but has only Buprenorphine and no Naloxone. The Naloxone is an opiate antagonist, and is put in Suboxone in order to prevent the tablets from being injected. Naloxone is not active when the pill is used sublingually, orally, or insufflated. Not commonly used recreationally, because it won't get someone with any tolerance high like Vicodin, Oxy, or Heroin would. It is valued on the street by some opiate addicts who want to have something to keep them from withdrawing if their dope supply runs short.
If you take Suboxone too soon after an opiate, you will go into withdrawal. If you take an opiate too soon after Bupe, the bupe will block the effects and you won't get high.

Get the Suboxone mug.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.

Get the Sumoing mug.The act of removing the scrotal sack from the inner thigh hands-free during mild/humid weather. This is achieved by raising the leg (with scrotal sack adhered) out to the side and firmly stamping the foot back on the ground. The adjoined love spuds should break free to their correct dangle angle if done correctly.
