>How many people do you know that use suboxone as a recreational drug. It has naloxone in it as well.
Sublingual buprenorphine was a popular recreational drug in Scotland back when Temgesic was more widely prescribed.
I am aware that Suboxone contains naloxone, but that is only relevant when it is injected, it does not prevent dependence occurring with other routes of administration.
>Try crushing it up and putting in your body by IV. See what happens.
I'm not sure that comment was appropriate.
I'm not trying to say that buprenorphine doesn't have a role in TRD. What I'm saying is that if you or anyone else thinks that it is somehow exempt from addiction and dependence issues, they are wrong.
