subutex is a substitution treatment with heroin opiates naloxone is a kind of antidote the words is bad choice but naloxone can save a person who overdoses any opioids it saves lives but this is not a reason for this immortal believe in opiates despite the help of naloxone people dies every day take care of yourself and if possible never take opiates it's hell and not only for the addicted person but for the entourage too

@dr.julienarbor6367 5 жыл бұрын

Julien Arbor My mistake...I meant Suboxone; not Subutex. I have to take opioids due to chronic pain; unfortunately chronic pain patients have been truly victimized by the “War on Opioids” with many committing suicide... including a large number of Veterans. See the #BlueBallonCampain on Twitter. I’d rather not take another pill in my life, but I would also be bedbound if that were the case.

Suboxone is a combination of two drugs to treat opioid dependence. Learn more: medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a605002.html. Naloxone is used in an emergency situation to reverse the life-threatening effects of an opiate overdose. More about Naloxone: medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a612022.html

My daughter was given suboxen and clonazapam and Librium together and they obviously didn’t check on her for quite awhile as she died as a result. Could Narcan have saved her life? If they had checked on her like they should’ve she wouldn’t have died I know but if they had Narcan why wouldn’t they have tried it??? It angers me to see that her death shouldn’t have happened at all being it her first night there!!! 😡😡😡

Naloxone sounds like it is very useful in combating opiate addiction. So how easy is it to obtain naloxone? Does it require a prescription?

@dragonmaid1360 5 жыл бұрын

You can get it from a needle exchange. It's useful if you have family members that are using or you work in an industry where opioid use is prevailant. I work with complex mental health and many of our clients use opiates so yes I will be finding some to carry with me But it won't combat use. Rather it can help with overdose events. Those using opiates can go on a maintenance program through their GP where naloxone is used in a drug called suboxone which has traces of naloxone in it. That is through your GP.

This is saving and has saved many lives - including mine in the early 1990s when it was only in injectable form. There was no FASH, then - Phony Alternative Substitite for Heroin i.e. fentanyl - but thank God Narcan works for fentanyl overdoses and it is now in a nasal spray. It's not a good thing to say but as a self respecting heroin addict using for 30 yrs., I won't go near fentanyl and fentanyl got me clean - because I won't use it. After surgery in 2004, my Dr gave me fentanyl patches. They didn't know what the correct dosage was for a human - imagine that! Because of the people I know and where I live, I carry Narcan nasal spray in my bag. Every day I hear of someone who overdosed. This website published studies of opioid injectors in the Massachusetts area. They showed pictures of the substance in the spoon and withdrawn into the syringe. The colors of the liquid in the syringe and the substance in the spoon with water prove that crap is not heroin. 99% of the time you can see through the liquid in the syringe no matter how dark it is - but yellow, milky, powder that cakes are substances one should never shoot. It's not heroin and chances are it is flesh eating. But if you're using PLEASE carry Narcan. Narcan saves lives. Get on Suboxone film strips. Take a couple for a few days and stop - with no withdrawals - much like methadone. When sentenced for jail I went on the meth program for 4 days. Had one night if no sleep - no other factors - but big deal, sat up a d talked to a C.O. all night. Same with Suboxone. This is the 21st century. There are good medications, today. At 68 years I've been clean for 5 years with the suboxone film strips and have NO DESIRE to use fentanyl. I had been using regularly in the NYC area since my early 30s - late 9bloomer. Please, stay away from that pure garbage, FASH - PHONY ALTERNATIVE SUBSTITUTE FOR HEROIN.

@@theyhatecolby depends on the dosage administered and dosage of the opioids taken and also by the timing. If you intervene when the person has already gone into cardiac arrest it won't help much. Some fentanyl analogues require massive dosages of naloxone as they bind to the receptors very strongly. In some cases an opioid overdose leads to pulmonary edema and when that happens the prognosis isn't favourable even with Narcan as naloxone won't reverse the lung damage.

I see where you are coming from with this comment. But just like narkins Is used on the spot to save lives people have to still go get care after this in the hospital usually only works for 30 minutes or so in the obviously knocked off the receptors for that long So it saves your life for a short time but the people don't go get Karen the hospital afterwards then they're going to most likely still die if they don't have tons of narkin
