Suboxone
How Long Does Suboxone Stay in Your System?
The Buprenorphine in Suboxone has an exceptionally long elimination half-life compared to other opioids. Even after eight days, an individual might still produce a positive test for Buprenorphine.
Several factors influence how quickly Suboxone flushes out of the system. These include:
- body fat content
- weight and height
- age
- metabolism speed
- amount of the last dose taken
- amount of time the abuse has gone on
- liver condition
Can you OD on Suboxone?
It is complicated to overdose on Suboxone alone. Suboxone is only a partial opiate receptor agonist, so there is a built-in “ceiling” effect. There is a limit to how much Suboxone can activate the opioid receptors, so there isn’t as significant a risk of slowed breathing as potent opiates such as heroin, Oxycodone, or morphine.
When people overdose on Suboxone, it is almost always because they mix it with sedatives such as benzodiazepines that also slow breathing.
Can You Take Xanax with Suboxone?
No, taking these two drugs can result in an extreme state of sedation. You may be at serious risk for respiratory depression and low blood pressure. Besides, coma and death can occur when these two substances are mixed.
If prescribed either medication by a doctor, the patient must be honest regarding any other substances that he is taking.
Is Suboxone a Narcotic?
Yes, it is a narcotic when the drug is taken outside of appropriate medical care.
Does Suboxone Show up on a Regular Drug Test?
Suboxone may or may not show up on a regular drug test. Usually, standard drug screen panels do not test Buprenorphine. Suboxone will only show up on a drug test if it tests explicitly for Buprenorphine or its metabolites or Naloxone.
Is Suboxone a Controlled Substance?
Yes, it is a controlled substance because it contains Buprenorphine, which can target people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs.
Is Suboxone an Opiate When Drug Tested?
No, suboxone won’t cause a false positive in an opiate drug test. However, it will show up if the test is looking for buprenorphine or suboxone.
Can a Drug Test Detect Different Types of Opiates?
