Thanks, Stella- couldn't get DB to come up for some reason all night last night.
Purple-
Other agonist/antagonists: Nubaine, Talwin, Subutex
They basically replace the opiates in the opiate receptors and precipitate withdrawal syndrome in opiate dependent people. I always avoid these drugs and even wear a medical bracelet noting that I absolutely cannot have Narcan (or the agonist/antagonists) unless it's a suspected overdose. It's probably not life-threatening anymore as I am on a substantially lower methadone dose than I was a year ago, but it certainly could have been life threatening at 100mgs methadone that I was on for 6 years. I also have the medical alert on my drivers license.

VERY SCIENTIFIC PAPER ON THE SUBJECT
