A newer drug compared to methadone, but with many of the same effects. It is an opioid blocker, which stops the effects of other opioids, such as methadone, heroine, etc. It is made up of buprenorphine which is an opioid, and naloxone which is an opioid antagonist. Suboxone is fastly becoming the new wonder drug to get people off of opiates( opioids), and more over to stay off of narcotics.
"Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic opiate with partial agonist and antagonist actions. Buprenorphine hydrochloride was first marketed in the 1980s by Reckitt & Colman (now Reckitt Benckiser) as an analgesic." (Right Health)
Is Suboxone really a wonder drug? Many ex-users think the come down from Suboxone was much worse due to the extended length of the come down. "Unfortunately, not all doctors give their patients the full story. People need to understand that Suboxone is an extremely powerful OPIATE. Even the FDA’s own studies concluded that Suboxone by volume is 20 times more powerful than morphine!"(Storm Looming)
