Yes, you two are exactly right, and YES you CAN overdose on bupe. Its one of the strongest opiates out there. I have ready many articles of people going to Emergency Room’s and they kept pushing pain medicines through the IV and there wasn’t any good enough to "knock" the suboxone off the opiate receptors.

That is also correct about the naloxone, from my reading and understanding anyways. The suboxone has a stronger binding affinity than naloxone. So if a opiate-naive person goes and takes a high dose of bupe, even being 2 or 4mg. It can definitely turn fatal in a MINUTE. If naloxone cant reverse the suboxone then what else could they do? Once it enters the bloodstream its all done with; your loved ones would just have to sit, wait, and pray for you. Not something you want to put yourself through or your family, as you may not make it out alive =/

They even make Bupe pills in Europe that are .2mg (thats One Fifth of a MG). Thats crazy to think about. Some of us take an 8mg strip everyday; which would be like taking 40 of those pills. I dont know if the sole purpose of those .2mg pills were for tapering but it still shows the great strength that bupe has.

Also 1mg of Bupe has the binding power of 33-40mg of morphine. So in an opiate naive person you could say 2mg of suboxone would have the same binding power effect as 66-80mg of morphine. I know morphine isn’t the best opiate out there, but if you give someone 80mg of morphine it’s gonna be very bad, and potentially fatal; so you should heed the same warning when you consider taking 2mg of suboxone for "recreational purposes." Or really ANY amount for that matter. Its a VERY strong opiate and you want get pleasure from it, it will most likely make you sick and could result in death. I just dont want anyone getting hurt or killed over something that many people under estimate.
