| Well, its a known fact that you cannot get high on other opiates while on suboxone. In order for him to get high from shooting up he would have to stop taking his subs for a few days atleast before he would even feel anything, and your husband knows this. He could shoot 100 bags of the strongest dope in the world and not feel anything while on suboxone. So you should be making sure he takes his sub if you can, that way you know hes not using.
And I hate to say it, but if you think that hes using, then he almost certainly is. I know that you love him and you want to believe that hes not, but if an addict gives you a reason to suspect that their using than they most likely are. |
I got concerned when I read you reply.
I have read well documented reports where people have accidentally overdosed while taking suboxone by trying to get high by using other opiates.
They may not get high as you said, but if one were to do too many "bags" of the strongest dope in the world, one could have severe problems, like stopping breathing because although the person may not feel the euphoria/high from the dope due to the blocking effects suboxone has, the other opiates are still having other effects on their system besides the "high" effect, and can cause an overdose.
Suboxone + other opiates can be deadly
