So as most of you know I’ve been an addict in a past life and am now currently a Pain Patient reluctantly on opiods but using Medical Cannabis to reduce them.
Then Ryan calls looking terrible and in agony. After questioning I find out his Buprenorphine patch is blocking his extensive morphine prescription.
That led me down a rabbit hole where NHS don’t list “Subutex” the brand most known to addicts as it blocks the opiod receptors. Subutex the brand name was designed for opiod addiction
So we find out from a Pain Specialist that Ryan was miss-prescribed and that Buprenorphine shouldn’t be given in doses higher than 8mg of Buprenorphine if on large quantity of opiod drugs
This information seemed so important we couldn’t understand why nobody explained it. So we make a very fair and professional video asking the question “Why Is Buprenorphine Prescribed To Pain Patients?”
For simply putting that question and only the link in AskDrugNerds I got 999 days ban and no reply as yet to why I was banned. Especially in a very academic place with many HCP as members
Clearly whether HCP or not they certainly don’t like my question, or is it less about the question and more about what answers they could give?
Why is this autocratic medieval approach used and ban everyone who dares challenge us, because we are those who can never be criticised?
You may think this scandal doesn’t involve you as you’re not on Buprenorphine but you may well make it to 80 years old and when a nurse puts a Buprenorphine patch on you then it certainly does affect you!
Surely we as society owe Ryan and every other person miss-prescribed some answers as a basic human compassionate response, not a ban!
