This, #Buprenorphine, is what the vet gave my cat for pain. She did not sleep or blink for 3 days, couldn't meow, could barely walk, jumped at every sound. She's still not herself. I hope she fully comes back. DON'T let vets give this to your cat. Plz repost to warn others.

An editorial from JAMA, published online February 11, 2026, titled "Buprenorphine in the ED—Balancing Access, Safety, and Autonomy" by Jessica Moe, Andrew Kestler, and Isabelle Miles, discusses emergency department visits for individuals with opioid use disorder.
💬 Editorial: ED-initiated extended-release injectable and sublingual #Buprenorphine show similar short-term engagement and low precipitated withdrawal rates, but further data on safety and adherence are needed.

Infographic showing study results: injectable vs. sublingual buprenorphine for opioid disorder. Population: 1348 male, 646 female, adults in EDs; 29 US locations. Intervention: 991 got extended-release, 1003 got sublingual. Findings: no significant difference in treatment engagement.
Among adults presenting to the emergency department with untreated #opioid use disorder, ED-initiated 7-day extended-release injectable #buprenorphine and sublingual buprenorphine resulted in similar rates of treatment engagement at 7 days.

Two graphs depict buprenorphine prescriptions vs. time since ACA expansion. Top: Recent Medicaid expansions show a slight increase post-expansion. Bottom: Early Medicaid expansions show a more noticeable increase after expansion.
Recent #Medicaid expansions (2019 or later) were associated with a significant increase in all-payer #Buprenorphine dispensing for #OpioidUseDisorder, particularly in high-need states, compared with earlier expansions.

Four graphs show buprenorphine prescriptions in North & South Carolina from June 2023 to Dec 2024. Graphs show prescriptions regardless of payer, and paid by Medicaid, private insurance, or cash, noting percentages of patients.
North Carolina’s Dec 1, 2023 #Medicaid expansion was associated with a modest slowing of the decline in #buprenorphine dispensing after Medicaid unwinding, supporting Medicaid expansion’s help in preserving access to opioid use disorder treatment. #OUD ja.ma/48KmjCe
CP3's Dr. Jenny Lo-Ciganic was part of a team that examined associations between trajectories of #buprenorphine use & time to adverse outcomes among youth. Bottom line: Medication adherence may prevent overdose, ED use, and hospitalization.
