Does Subutex Block Opiates

[JoRoChrist]

Yes I've been on suboxone for about 6 months but my doctor took me off and put me on subutex.
I would like to know if it blocks opiates, I have to go and get injections of probably fetynal for getting
my wisdom teeth taken, and then prescribed fetynal or oxy-contin after the operation.

Thank You

Never believe anything from snyone off the internet without some form of solid evidence.

The main ingredient in Subutex and Suboxone is buprenorphine which is the main ingredient and is an opiate blocker. The only difference between Subutex and Suboxone is that Suboxone has naloxone in it which sole purpose is to prevent abuse.

I am on 8mg of subutex. I take it in the am. By 4pm I have noticed it only slightly blocks opiates. Everyone's bodies are different though. I get severe migraines and 2 Vicodin are enough to work after 4pm

Both contain buprenorphine which blocks the receptors. They dont block them all but they block enough so the other drugs dont cling to the receptors so the other drugs dont work. The only difference between the two is the naloxine. Hope this helps

To the moron that just said that Subutex does not block opiates!!  It does, and here is the molecular reason.  Subutex is 10,000 times more potent than morphine!!!  No, you did NOT hear me wrong!!!!  However, b/c of Subutex has a huge molecular ring configuration, it is HUGE compared to your receptors.  Imagine morphine being a regular plug that you put into the wall.  Now imagine that Subutex be a plug with a huge, huge, huge nightlight directly attached to the face.  Now, everybody knows when you plug a nightlight like that into that socket, you can't utilize the other socket b/c the nightlight is covering.  Well, same concept is going on here.  The morphine can't reach the receptors, and thus will FLOAT in space in your brain.  Yes, it will be a complete waste of money!!!!! In fact, when I am taking my subutex, and take those morphine, oxy's or whatever on top of it, I waste it, and I also CRAVE my subutex bigtime.  Now, that *****, b/c subutex will NOT make you high at all!!!! What's the beef anyway????? Sick of the ******* propaganda!!! If I want to get high then it is nobody's business.  I am tired of hearing how dangerous it is.  It is NOT dangerous!!! It is far more dangerous getting the wrong stuff on the street.  The absolute worse thing that will ever happen to anybody for taking an opiate is that they will get chronic constipation.  Now, the worst thing for taking N-SAIDS is all kinds of death related problems.  Worst thing that can happen to you on Acetemitphen is Liver Failure, and death.  Wake up guys, thank the little special interest groups that media and legislative attention, b/c the truth of that matter is THEY DON'T WANT YOUR *** "FEELING GOOD."  It is as simple as that!!!!!!! For every 100,000 peeps that use morphine, one will die of an overdose.  For every 100 peeps that take Nsaids, one will suffer severe complications from longtime use.  They don't want peeps feeling good!  They don't want peeps feeling good!  They don't want YOU feeling good!!! Okay!!!!!!!!!!!!  Opium has been around for 250,000 years to man!  Who the **** do they think they are telling you, you can't have it!!!! It's ********, and a lot of peeps fall right into it thinking that it must be so bad.  Peeps, wake up!!!! It's propaganda, meant to BRAIN WASH you!!!! Period!!! The brainwashing has gotten so pervasive that women, and especially women, are being undertreated in pain managment.  It's a crime!  Can't wait till 2012...when it all goes doomsday, b/c your opiate intake will be the last thing that is on their mind.  As for now, they have an AGENDA!

suboxone will block opiates.

subutex does NOT block opiates.

they are NOT identical in their chemical make up.
