HiThanks for using healthcare magicSlurring of speech, emotional hallucination, confusion are due to overdose of buprenorphine. It is morphine partial agonist and from morphine family. In that case, you would suggest to take him to emergency set up and get him treated. Sometime, overdose of opioid lead to respiratory depression, which may be harmful.Thanks
