The truth about Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) and fentanyl!
Many people who use fentanyl are reporting precipitated withdrawal reactions when they take Suboxone, even if they follow the administration instructions exactly (waiting at least 24 hours AND waiting for the onset of opioid withdrawal symptoms). Some believe that Suboxone and its active ingredient, buprenorphine, do not work for people with fentanyl use disorder, despite Suboxone's proven efficacy for treatment of opioid withdrawal and opioid use disorder (addiction).
In this video, Dr McGeachy explains why people who use fentanyl can experience precipitated withdrawal despite taking their medication as directed and what this means for the treatment of opioid use disorder in the "Fentanyl Era." As it turns out, people who use fentanyl CAN take advantage of Suboxone's benefits and avoid precipitated withdrawal, so long as they adhere to a new dosing protocol.

The practice of medicine is an art, as much as it is a science, and each patient is unique. If you have a question regarding addiction treatment, consult with a medical professional and always speak with your doctor before starting any course of treatment.
