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…]

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…]

Counseling Schmounseling

May 3, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

I just noticed a couple of my recent posts….  these people have it wrong, and that person has it wrong.  One of these days I really need to print something positive and uplifting.  But not today. Excuse the self-flattery, but I like to think of myself as a physician scientist.  That concept motivated my PhD … [Read more…]

Addiction Treatment Has it ALL WRONG

April 30, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Today on SuboxForum members discussed how long they have been treated with buprenorphine medications.  Most agreed that buprenorphine turned their lives around, and most are afraid they will eventually be pushed off the medication.  Most buprenorphine patients described a reprieve from a horrible illness when they discovered buprenorphine.  But most have new fears that they … [Read more…]

I am Addicted to Heroin. What Should I Do?

April 10, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

A newcomer to SuboxForum posted this succinct question: Will someone PLEASE help me take the first steps into the right direction? … [Read more…]

Buprenorphine Depression Drug Stumbles

January 23, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

I’ve written a few optimistic lines about ALKS 5461 as a potential solution for people suffering from refractory major depressive disorder.  Those unfortunate will have to keep waiting. ALKS 5461 is a product in Alkermes’ pipeline that combines buprenorphine with ALKS 33, or Samidorphan.  The combination drug is purported to ‘stabilize opioid pathways’, which is a very simple … [Read more…]

Baby’s Buprenorphine Withdrawal

October 17, 2015 by admin 3 Comments

This morning I responded to a woman at SuboxForum.  Her baby was taken to the NICU for ‘withdrawal’, which is better identified as neonatal abstinence syndrome.  She said that the baby is eating well, but there is concern that the baby sleep only 2 hours at a stretch.  The baby is on morphine, and mom … [Read more…]
