Thumbs up Read the fine print of SUBOXONE before taking ...

SUBOXONE ("S") is a dangerous, new wonder drug doing miracles for opium addicts. Unfortunately, it's being misprescribed for pain sufferers. In fact, it will actually throw you into acute opium withdrawals if mixed. I had my first run-in with a nerve doc, who admitted that he hadn't bothered to read my medical history. Nice. However, his lack of my medical history didn't stop him from faxing my Pain Spec. to recommend I STOP all of my current meds and use only SUBOXONE. I also take Klonapin, which could have caused some serious interaction issues. I am managing my pain for my 4 herniated discs and looking for options to make it possible to work as a writer again. If I would have blindly taken the Suboxone without researching it first. I would be in a world of hurt right now. My advice, BEWARE of doctors and pharmaceutical companies with agendas! Do your homework. The life you save could be your own. Enjoy your day.

Suboxone is not indicated for pain, not in the USA anyway, it's Rx'd only for opioid addiction.
And your statement "throw you into acute opium withdrawals if mixed" is wrong, first you mean opioid, secondly, it won't precipitate withdrawals if mixed with other opioids UNLESS the user tries to inject or insufflate the Suboxone, if the user tries to use an opioid pain med it will block the opioids effects, NOT cause withdrawal.

Sorry, but I have to give you an F on your homework.
