He Brewed Poppy Tea For His Chronic Pain That Led To His Opioid Addiction

SHOULD HAVE STUCK TO ESPRESSO –

Feb. 2023 – The authors of the case report noted that the man did not show signs of a substance use disorder when he was taking prescribed opioids, but his use of poppy seed tea was what became problematic.

The patient was prescribed buprenorphine-naloxone, a combination meant to block his opioid receptors and help him end his dependence on the tea.

He experienced some withdrawal symptoms, including an upset stomach, and cravings for the tea during his first few weeks of buprenorphine treatment. After two months however, the patient reported that he had better pain control and overall function and was able to stay off the tea.
