Suboxone Mug
Suboxone is the trade name for a medication that contains buprenorphine and naloxone. A very similar medication, Subutex, contains buprenorphine without naloxone. Both are manufactured and sold by a British company, Reckitt-Benckiser, and are scheduled to lose their patent protection in 2009. Both medications are indicated for treatment of opiate dependence, and both are also used 'off label' to treat chronic pain. The active substance, buprenorphine, has effects at the mu opiate receptor that are different than effects of pain pills or methadone. Oxycodone, methadone, and hydrocodone are all 'agonists', meaning that the more drug, the more effect at the receptor. Naloxone and Naltrexone are mu 'antagonists'-- they will block the effects of pain pills and have no stimulating effect at the receptor. Buprenorphine is a 'partial agonist'-- in between the two. It will activate the mu receptor and relieve pain up to a certain point, where it has a 'ceiling' to it's effect. Beyond that point, any increases in dose of buprenorphine will have no extra effect. Buprenorphine becomes an 'antagonist' at that point, blocking the receptor so that any other opiate medications will be ineffective. The result is that treatment with buprenorphine virtually eliminates cravings for opiates in opiate addicts who use it properly. It can be taken once per day, and will also block the effects of any other opiates the addict may take. Because of these effects, buprenorphine is considered a 'remission agent'-- it will induce remission of opiate addiction, but it is NOT a cure. When an addict stops buprenorphine, all of the prior features of his/her addiction will return if the addict does not do something to replace the buprenorphine-- such as become involved in 12 step groups. While not a cure, there is no truth to the oft-heard comment that buprenorphine is only 'replacing one drug with another'. Opiate addiction consists of the obsession for opiates; the addict's mind is taken over by the singular concern for finding the next dose. Buprenorphine effectively treats addiction by eliminating the obsession far beyond what occurs with taking an opiate agonist. More and more addictionologists are recognizing that buprenorphine and Suboxone should be considered long term treatments.

I bought a Prone mug and i love it its so good imma prone to the bathroom now brb
This mug gives my life purpose. It's what I've always said. Patience is a virtue and hard work never betrays. Ever since I was born I've been struck with one misfortune after another, but today it all paid off. I got my own mug, and I use it anywhere and whenever I can! Both of my legs are shattered because to my wife threw me in the middle of traffic and my windpipe is messed up due to me screaming all the way from the crash site to the hospital thanks to the unbearable pain I was feeling. Although even with all that's happened this is still the best day of my life. I suppose the only problem I have is that whenever I happen to look at my cup I get a little too happy. That causes problems because my life support can't handle my exhilaration, haha! I'm just kidding; that was just a little lighthearted joke of mine. I actually cannot afford life support because I spent all of my life savings on this fine piece of pottery. Not to worry though! I can get through the pain with my will and drugs - I mean medication. P.S. There are definitely no ghosts in the mugs. Just wanted to point that out in case someone was worried about that.
I bought two mugs as gifts for coworkers and they were very pleased. The print was clear and concise. Hopefully they last a long time.
Ordered a gift for a friend I hope he likes it :)

My Name is Walter Hardwell White, My Mug was sent to 308 Negra Aroyal Lane, AQ, New Mexico and arrived on-time and I am very satisfied. My "Glock Dookie" mug is great for my lab work, and my friend Pinkman loves it!
I love this cup! My now ex-husband loves his opioids more than life itself. He would constantly pass out dead to the world the only thing I would here was his death moans. I had to call an aid car for him so many time that I can't remember plus 2 or 3 times the doctors told me that if it wasn't for me, he would have died. Her abandoned me after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer because I was of no use to him any longer. I have no clue now who must be the one that's obligated to save his life any longer. All I know is I'm free from him now. The only thing I'm waiting for is that he finally overdoses himself & he's dead. I am buying a cup to send to him for our divorce anniversary gift so he can keep it in memory of how he treated me.
I loved it! Excellent quality!
I received the mug as a gift from a friend with whom I exchange "Weekaversary" eMails. I love the concept but am wondering why "aniversary" is spelled with only one "n?"
Wish it had the example text as well, but I loved it anyway
