Is subutex good for pain? i suffer from fibromyalgia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Subutex: This is Buprenorphine which does have some analgesic properties. While the majority of the time it is used in addiction medicine it is not unheard of to find physicians using it for pain. The doses for pain however are probably not high enough. Like all other opioids it has risk, potential for abuse, dependency.
