I need answers?
by Kristen
I am in need of some answers. My boyfriend was taking Suboxone last year (at least that what he said it was) to relax. One pill a day if that cut into quarters. The first night we went out I knew something was off because his eyes were pinholes.
He finally quit after months and months of us being together. I know he has been clean for at least 8 months. Recently his eyes have began to bother me, but they do dilate. They do not stay tiny pinholes.
My question is…do people’s eyes dilate when they are on opiates? Are the eyes able to? I don’t know how else to find out. He is a wonderful boyfriend. But I can’t have this in our future.
Thank you for any help!!!!!

Cause for Concern
Pupils dilate due to an increase in heart rate and other factors. Opiates will certainly cause this, because opiate users risk increased heart rate, which is one of the leading symptoms of a medical emergency. Buprenorphine (or Suboxone) detox is a type of rapid opiate detox that does cause relaxation, but I question your boyfriend’s use of the drug. Not knowing more, let’s just say the red flags are going up here. |
