There's a theory that opiod use causes changes to one's DNA. They are calling it methylation. But the same people prescribe buprenorphine- a powerful opiod.

I don't know if I agree with that. I'm of the opinion that buprenorphine causes such changes. It is very difficult to get off buprenorphine, do not be fooled. Detox centers take in an opiod addict for a 1 week detox. They use buprenorphine after the addict goes into withdrawals, and load up the buprenorphine over a few days, then quickly taper the dosage down to nothing by day 6, and discharge on day 7. The mass failures here is because no one is told there is very much withdrawals ahead to go thru. The detox centers have a racket of revolving doors and buprenorphine is their new cash cow. The reason why so many relapse afterwards, is the buprenorphine wears of and they're right back to the exact same situation as when they entered detox.

Imo, it's important to know a little history of buprenorphine. It was invented over 40 years ago as an alternative to morphine, without the respiratory depression (stop breathing). And that part worked. But, it was a very poor pain killer(analgesic). It was a very limiting drug. So it was shelved, well over 40 years. Until the opiod crisis, at which point buprenorphine was hastly thrown at the problem.

Now it's a billion dollar a year industry. And God forbid you speak anything negatively about the drug on reddit, ir you are permanently banned. I'm sure most here know of reddit 's ways of forcing and limiting speech. I'm new here, and hope the hard ugly facts of this drug can be discussed.

Like how the drug is prescribed. In the 'limited' clinical trials, most addicts did well at or under 8mg/day. But most providers are pushing double and sometimes triple that dose. If 1mg of buprenorphine is 50 X that of morphine, that's a hellofa dose of buprenorphine. A drug that is a powerful opiod itself. You do the math. It's a system of overprescribing just like when oxycontin came to market. Fir those who do not know, oxy was said to Not be addicting. A safe painkiller. And the drug was pushed heavily.

Currently buprenorphine is being prescribed 'off label' for non opiod addiction ailments. It's being prescribed for depression, alcoholism, meth addiction, gambling addiction, cocaine addiction and other things. Source: 6 years actively engaged with addicts on reddit. The ability to get Bupeprenorphine is a phone call away with telemedicine providers. And that's a good thing for those of us who suffer from OUD(opiod use disorder). But imo, it should not be marketed to people with a gambling addiction fir f#'s sake. But the billion dollar per year machine must be fed I guess. It's just sad to see so many get hooked on buprenorphine and then find out what side effects follow. That's another discussion.

This video is one sided. There is a standard of care which has the element of 'Informed Consent '. And this is where things like this video, are severely lacking.

I created a subreddit titled " Sobriety Without Suboxone '. Discussions about the negative aspects of this drug were shut down just as we picked up traction. Users were posting links from sources like the FDA, CDC. NIH about the negative side effects of buprenorphine(suboxone is a brand name buprenorphine). The sub i created was wiped clean from reddit. All the factual information, links, user posts and comments- wiped clean. They went as far as wipe clean DMs(direct messages between users), which are private chats that administrators supposedly had no access to. We figure the drug makers had their attorneys go to work and pounce the hell out of that.

Buprenorphine is not the safe drug it is made out to be. Yes, it saves lives. But at what cost
