Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#498 Opioid Withdrawal with Dr. Ashish Thakrar

Q: How do you approach a patient who insists they do not want to take methadone or buprenorphine?

I emphasize that methadone is the best withdrawal medication I have and try to explore their hesitations. I want them to know that starting methadone does not mean committing to long-term use.

#498 Opioid Withdrawal with Dr. Ashish Thakrar

Q: What is buprenorphine precipitated withdrawal and why are we seeing more of it?

Buprenorphine precipitated withdrawal occurs when someone switches from a full agonist to buprenorphine, which is a partial agonist. It's more commonly reported now due to the widespread use of fentanyl and its unique pharmacokinetics.

#497 Methamphetamine Use Disorder: Tailoring and Ramping up Management with Dr. Phillip Coffin

Q: What is your advice for professionals about managing stimulant use in medical practice?

Use a structured four-tier approach for treatment that includes assessment, preventive care, use reduction, and toxicity prevention.

#497 Methamphetamine Use Disorder: Tailoring and Ramping up Management with Dr. Phillip Coffin

Q: What sparked your interest in the field of addiction medicine?

Dr. Coffin became interested in substance use after taking a course in college that revealed the negative impact of government policies on drug users, particularly regarding HIV outbreaks.

#494 C. diff, Diarrhea, the Microbiome, and New Therapies with Dr. Cynthia Sears. Live from Johns Hopkins Grand Rounds

Q: Is there a role for antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with recurrent C. diff infections?
