The main ingredient in suboxone, buprenorphine, is an opioid and a pretty strong one. I got higher on suboxone then I had on oxycodone, when I was abusing it. So I imagine it would help with pain, just as any other opioid will. It stays in your system much longer than most other opiods, so that's a plus for pain relief. And it contains naloxone, an opiate antagonist, so virtually impossible to OD. But it is still restricted to prescribers with special suboxone training who can have no more than 100 patients on suboxone in their practice (up from 30 a few years ago). This would make it difficult to find a prescriber You can't just get it from your GP.

Also, because of the limits on prescribing, it is a goldmine for certified prescribers, so most don't take insurance and charge a small fortune for appointments (like $400 and up). Too bad, because it probably would be a good pain med.
