Suboxone Overdose

Due to its partial agonist action (at 50%) and its ceiling effect, Suboxone causes less incident of overdose than other opiates.  A ‘ceiling effect’ refers to increases in doses that produce progressively smaller resulting effects.

In 2004, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported that the second-leading cause of accidental death in the United States (after automobile collision) is unintentional fatal drug overdose, like Suboxone overdose. Their researchers report that the primary cause of the rate increase comes from prescription painkillers, as well as sedatives, when combined with alcohol.

Caution with Suboxone

  • Suboxone overdose is difficult to reverse.
  • Suboxone overdose is rare in opioid-tolerant patients who use the drug sublingually.
  • Respiratory depression is the most severe—possibly fatal—reaction related to Suboxone overdose (and opiate overuse, in general).
