Answer by First-time Mommy!
She’ll get high from it. She’ll probably be happy, maybe a little bit slow to answer questions, maybe itchy. Oh and her voice might sound like she has a sore throat. I have a Rx for suboxone and gave one to my hubby when he had a migraine in the middle of the night (it is also a painkiller), and that’s how he was. Pretty much the same symptoms you get from any opiate if you’re using them to get high.

Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines Nic Sheff
Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and Ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. As we watch Nic plunge the mental and physical depths of drug addiction, he paints a picture for us of a person at odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself. It’s a harrowing portrait — but not one without hope.
