Subutex is absolutely an opiate receptor agaonist. Wow, do not take this unless you are in opiate withdrawals or you will go into SEVERE withdrawals.
The biggest lesson here, is call a doctor. None of us are experts. The only reason I know the difference between Suboxone and Subutex is because I was on the both.
Suboxone and Subutex are the exact same drug (Buprenorphine). Buprenorphine basically blocks the opiate receptors and does not allow them to give you a high if you take a full opiate.
NOW, the difference is Suboxone has a drug added called Naloxone.
This is from the Suboxone website:
Suboxone contains buprenorphine as well as the opioid antagonist naloxone to deter the abuse of tablets by intravenous injection. Controlled trials in human subjects suggest that buprenorphine and naloxone at a 4:1 ratio will produce unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if taken intravenously by patients who are addicted to opioids.
So bascially Suboxone is given to prevent IV use of the drug.
SO please call a doctor regarding this issue.
