Is 4mg Suboxone Dangerous For Non Opioid Person?

I am prescribed suboxone 8mg sublingual. I came home from work to find my wife had taken half a strip (4mg) after a stressful day. She does not use opioids and I am scared that she might not be used to it and I am not letting her out of my site. I am hiding the bottle from now on. She is coherent and has thrown up, but that happens every time she takes a norco, which she rarely does. Is 4mg safe for someone who doesn't use opioids?

Hello, Mack! How is your wife doing? Has there been any change?

It's actually hard to say because Suboxone contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone, so if she has taken any Norco in the past 3 days, it may have thrown her into precipitated withdrawals.

Overall, the best thing to do would be to contact poison control or emergency services and get their assessment of the situation, to be safe.

The FDA classifies Suboxone as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
