Suboxone Addiction

Suboxone is a combination of Buprenorphine and Naloxone and is used as a medication to help individuals suffering from opiate addiction.

It is an irony that people often get addicted to the drug which otherwise helps people to get over an addiction. Suboxone, when used as directed by the doctors, acts as an efficient way of weaning someone off opiates without the severe withdrawal symptoms of going cold turkey.

Though Suboxone does not cause the same “high” as other opiates, it effectively suppresses withdrawal and when used in large quantities may even have mind-altering effects. Like every drug, Suboxone use also leaves behind a trail which can be helpful in identification of someone having a problem with the drug.

Withdrawal Symptoms of Suboxone

Like any other prescription drug, Suboxone is not a readily available drug. It requires a proper prescription from a registered medical practitioner. This makes it difficult to procure the drug, and an addicted individual may have to stop taking it until the time they figure out a new way to get the drugs. During this phase when an addicted person is unable to take the drug, Suboxone withdrawal will take place. The severity of withdrawal will vary from person to person and depend on the quantity of the drug consumed.

The withdrawal symptoms may include:
