Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Opioid analgesics such as Norspan® have been used to treat pain for many years. In most cases addiction does not occur. However, over time your body may become used to using Norspan® so if you suddenly stop using it you may experience some symptoms of withdrawal. It is important to discuss this issue with your doctor. http://tinyurl.com/68lmfo You may want to read the rest as you may have developed a tolerance.

That is an off label use and if you go to the website they state that. It is used for people who fear or have an addiction to opoids. There has been much controversy over the treatment program of this drug and they are finding that the doctors that get trained in the use of this drug are given monetary bonuses by the DEA and government agencies to promote its use. Please research many websites before ever considering this medication because I have heard many horror stories of patients being treat by the wrong protocol and suffering. You can type in suboxone chat rooms or there is a very informative book, Suboxone Doctor that reveals that suboxone is be given in wrong amounts if used for pain medication. Dr. Schular, author of the book states you can actually take this medication every 45 minutes until you titer up to a certain amount for it to be effective. The current dosing is one or two a day and it is a opoid antagonist which if you take other narcotics with it, it will not be effective and it will place you in withdrawal. Again, Suboxone IS NOT for pain treatment but for the treatment of opoid dependence and needs to be done by someone who knows what he is doing not a pain doctor who wants extra money by being a certified suboxone clinic, Norspan does have some anti-agnostic properties and the website states it is not effective after a certain dose. I am not familiar with Norspan but I stay away from anything that anti agnostic which means if you take another opoid it will cancel it out and not supplement it. (my layman's term as explained to me by pharmacist) Always check it out, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
