Subutex And Its Potential For Abuse

Updated

I caught my partner abusing subutex on more than one occasion. I would like to know if he's getting an opiate-like effect from doing so, as he always hides it from me?

Absolutely. I've done it for years.

Hello, Andora! How are you?

Yes, Doc is correct!

Subutex contains the opiate Buprenorphine and some people will feel high or euphoric from taking it. The FDA even warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
