An opiate agonist gives the user the same feeling as would be experienced by an endorphin, which is a natural compound. The receptors in the brain that feel effects from opiates receive the opiate agonist and feel an opioid effect, even though one isn't really happening.

What are the effects of taking methadone and suboxone together?

You will not feel the Loratab as the naltrexone will displace it. Loratab is an opiate antaganist and Subotex (one of the ingredients in Suboxone) is an agonist on the opiate receptors meaning that the only thing that you will feel is the agonist. You are wasting your time mixing the two as Naltrexone will make the effects of Loratab null and void. You will feel the Subotex within the Suboxone.


You are prescribed 10660vicodin and 50mg ultram will an adderall show up on a urine test?

You should not be taking hydrocodone with tramadol(Ultram), hydrocodone(Vicodin)is an MU agonist, tramadol is a partial MU agonist, if you build any kind of a tolerance with the hydrocodone and then take tramadol(50mg)it will/can initiate opiate withdrawl syndrome almost instantly! You'll be very, very unhappy if this were to occur.


What is siboxone?

Suboxone (buphrenorphine) is a narcotic agonist/antagonist that is used for pain relief and opiate detoxification. Its opiate antagonist characteristics prevent users from getting as high as they would from other opiate drugs. However, it is addictive and should be used under the care of a physician who thoroughly understands the protocols for which it is intended. There is a major storefront industry of quack doctors who claim to be experts in opiate detox using Suboxone. The giveaway is usually failure to accept insurance. Just ask them if they take insurance. If they say no, only cash, walk away.


What is the category for morphine?

Methadone is an opiate medication (specifically an long-acting opiate agonist). It is prescribed in tablet form to treat pain, and in liquid form (at specially approved clinics) to treat opiate addiction - especially when withdrawing from heroin. Methadone is a DEA category 2 medication (as is the case with all other opiates, with the exception of codeine).
