Leadership on Opioids

December 19, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

Anyone who proposes an easy solution to the overdose epidemic is either a simpleton or a politician.  But far too many people entrusted with the power and responsibility to set priorities decry the number of overdose deaths, then stigmatize and demonize every effort to save lives.   “Suboxone can be diverted.”   “Someone might drive impaired after methadone.”  “Needle … [Read more…]

Short Term Suboxone

December 13, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Firsted Posted 1/8/2014 I received an email today containing an angry comment about Suboxone/buprenorphine that I’ve read a number of times before on forums about addiction.  The essence of the comment was that Suboxone has caused tons of problems, including diversion, people stuck on the medication, and buprenorphine abuse. He wrote that the reason for … [Read more…]

Withdrawal Work-Up II

October 12, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

First posted 11/11/2012 In my last post, I wrote about the work-up of a patient who experiences symptoms similar to opioid withdrawal that start about an hour after each dose of Suboxone.  We decided that the symptoms were signs of withdrawal—i.e. reduced activity of mu-opioid pathways—and that the symptoms were triggered by taking a daily … [Read more…]
