Sure would be better than being concerned about tolerance levels and possible addictions




Buprenorphine IS an opioid (although it has partial antagonist properties) - So this is really not the case. Tolerance and addiction/dependance are still very much an issue with Buprenorphine. It is widely abused (believe it or not) all throughout Europe and Asia.... (Usually by using it in other ways than specified ie: injection, etc) It is a good pain reliever, the antagonist properties block euphoria (which is one reason it helps with detoxification - you don't get euphoria - therefore, less addiction potential) - It is good for getting off of other opioids - BUT it is STILL an opioid - so you are not safe from the possibility of addiction or tolerance while using it. It is a miracle medicine for weening off of stronger opioids, but many people become addicted to Buprenorphine just like they were the other opioids, ie: trading one addiction for another... Also, it DOES build tolerance, just as all other opioids do. Although not at the same super-fast rate.... I think this has to do with it being a partial antagonist.,
