Addiction Treatment, Science, and Dead Rats

May 23, 2018 by admin 1 Comment

In my last post I teased that I would write about fake science.  I’ll try to make it interesting. The internet allows everyone to do research about symptoms and treatments for any condition. If not for need for prescriptions, people could act as their own doctors.  But a huge dose of caution is necessary before … [Read more…]

Buprenorphine, Not Subbies

April 8, 2018 by admin 20 Comments

I’ve been writing longer and longer posts on SuboxForum so maybe I need to write more here.  This blog archives twelve years of frustration over the ignorance toward buprenorphine, at least until I ran out of steam a year ago.  I grew used doctors refusing to treat people addicted to heroin and other opioids.  I became … [Read more…]

Help for Heroin Addiction

March 27, 2018 by admin 10 Comments

A couple comments for regular readers…  first, watch for an upcoming change to a new name.  For years I’ve debated whether to adopt a name centered on ‘buprenorphine’, rather than the more-recognizable ‘Suboxone’.  I believe that time has come.   Second, I’m going to ‘reset’ with some introductory comments about the proper approach to treating heroin … [Read more…]

Missing the Point of Buprenorphine Treatment

June 17, 2017 by admin 39 Comments

A forum reader wrote about concerns over a partner on buprenorphine.  Her concerns pointed out a common misperception about the goals of treatment of opioid use disorder using buprenorphine, or using methadone for that matter. Her question, amended for privacy: I married the love of my life.  He is still he love of my life … [Read more…]

Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia Prevented by Buprenorphine?

February 5, 2017 by admin 8 Comments

“Buprenorphine is a kappa receptor antagonist. For these reasons, buprenorphine might be unique in its ability to treat chronic pain and possibly OIH.” The opioid crisis has been fueled by the use of opioids to treat chronic pain.  Practice patterns have changed, but doctors are still criticized for their roles in the overuse of opioids.  I’ve sat … [Read more…]

Congress Acts on Opioid Dependence (ugh)

July 20, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

I won’t weigh in on the upcoming election, for fear of being barraged with insulting tweets by one candidate or ‘offed’ by the other.  But the current opioid dependence crisis provides a great chance to learn whether you stand on the side of ‘limited government’ or the alternative. The TREAT Act takes 5 minutes to … [Read more…]

Obama’s Lousy Suboxone Offer

May 15, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

I was reading more about Obama’s executive order over at Dr. Burson’s blog.  I guess she is a ‘competitor’ in the blogging world, but I have to admit that her blog has a lot more detail about the issue than I do.  If you haven’t been there yet, check it out.  Keep coming back here … [Read more…]

Obama and the TREAT Act

May 12, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

I just read an article in the Daily Beast that reads like a better version of something I would write about the value of medication-assisted treatment of opioid dependence.  I appreciate Christopher Moraff telling a story that has been untold far too long, and I hope the story raises questions across the country. But I … [Read more…]
