Can Suboxine Lower Opiate Tolerance In A Person?

Hi My Question is I have been on opiate pain relieivers for years. I suffer from 3 herniated discs along with 2 cancer surguries that have kept me on these medications. Of course my tolarance to these drugs is high. I was considering suboxine to use to lower my opiate tolerance. I was told if I do that I will be labeled as an abuser and not be able to find a doctor to perscribe opiate drugs to me in the event I can not find something else to control my pain. Is that true ?

Hi,
suboxine contains naloxone and buprinophrin which is narcotic drug (can cause drug dependancy ) and plenty of side effect n can be lethal sometime . So although you were upon opiates drug and suboxine is used for those who has developed dependency it should never be used by own.

so in my opinion don't start ny medication by your own either consult your doc and under supervision vn he prescribe it you start these medication or ask for patch or visit rehabilitation cetre .

Thanks n regards
