Orange Smell & Flavor, Round Tablet, No Markings

Updated

My dad just realized tonight that his 60mg Morphine Sul tablet tasted different than normal? In fact, it smells & tastes like citrus orange!? There isn't a single marking on these small, round tablets either? I'm really scared that perhaps someone switched out his pills or that the pharmacy mistakingly filled his script with the incorrect prescription?! He is in great need of his painkiller scripts, so I'm really interested in figuring this one out!

Pretty sure that's a suboxone. Which I find it super hard to believe a pharmacy would mix the two up. If you have a different question or you're raiding a medicine or your dad's cabinet I wouldn't suggest taking it if you have methadone in your system or expect hell on earth. Suboxone is an opiate agonist and if used with opiate in your system, the methadone is an opiate, you'll go into precipitated withdrawal which is worse then normal withdrawal which is already enough to wish to die. So like I said, tell the real story, I know for a fact a pharmacy wouldn't mess up the two especially understanding the interactions and liabilities. I've been blessed with the knowledge of pharmacy tech training and the darker knowledge that came with overcoming my own addiction. If you want any non judgemental advice just ask, but honestly please. And I may be mistaken, these may be some form of methadone but if your story was true you would have just called the pharmacy instead of posting here. If they're subs and you take em, you'll be in for a ride, probably not a good one, they're easy to overdo. Less is more with them. Post the real question if this didn't answer it for you.

Dear Just Me, it sounds like suboxone 2 me, too. Pharmacys can make mistakes,too. It had happened 2 me a couple of times over the years. I would have them checked out at the pharmacy.

You aren't very knowledgeable about the pharmacological properties of suboxone apparently. If so, you'd know that suboxone taken sublingually most likely won't send a person into precipitated withdrawal. Due to the nalaxone (the opioid "antagonist") in suboxone having very little bioavailability through sublingual administration. Not to mention that the buprenorphine (that's an opioid "agonist!") in suboxone has so much bioavailability taken sublingually and is in a ratio of 2/.5 mg to nalaxone, that the nalaxone wouldn't have any chance to bind to the opioid receptors. A person usually won't get much effect from other opioid analgesic compounds while medicating with suboxone, but if you take it properly, all of that "precipitated withdrawal" talk is straight malarkey.

I also know that buprenorphine is an opioid receptor agonist-antagonist, but it's the only agonist in Suboxone. Did you know that, Ash, Miss Pharmacy Tech Training? Of course not, you don't even know the difference between an agonist and antagonist. Lol.
