Suboxone question

[Rec]

@blissopifree 2 yes our stories our ve similar my friend I just that when something is been in your life so long and just like you said you take your meds to function as I do its not like we're taking it too far and you know how far it can be pushed... Quite a way I remember constantly battling, now I just live life as it is good to know there are other people out there in similar situations, hope you are OK all the best rec.

The problem with being on Suboxone for life (in my opinion after being on it for 5 years then getting off) is that if you ever happen to need surgery the E.R. doctors might not know how to handle you properly (whether you're in the unfortunate situation of being unconscious and unable to speak to them or even if you CAN tell them you're on it, since there isn't a lot of knowledge in the medical community about it yet). This is because Suboxone has a higher affinity for the receptors in your brain than normal opiates. If they try to use fentanyl for anesthesia it might not work because your brain's receptors are so filled with buprenorphine. If they try to give you morphine for pain it might not work and they will give you more and more... then maybe in a few days when the suboxone starts leaving your receptors the other opiates can kick in and you could possibly overdose. 

These are just some of the complications and worries that led me to step away from a lifelong Suboxone decision. There's starting to be more information about this topic on Google lately (which makes me glad) but here's a very good article that explains things from a doctor's perspective: http://paindr.com/bupes-and-subs-and-surgery-oh-my/

Yes I think your points are correct one thing for sure is any morph based product won't work on me bo ho, I think everything in the UK is linked so if I was to go to the hospital they would type in my name and it would be on my details but say I needed ambulance for emergency care and I was unconscious then there may be a issue...... And alot of pain for yours truely. Good point though I agree with you.
