Hey there. I'll be straight with you. I don't have a ton of evidence to support this claim, but I feel that the strip form of Buprenorphine, whether Suboxone or whatever else, has a major propensity for creating injection complications. I know at least a dozen people who were regular injecter of various drugs who began shooting their strips and were riddled with abscesses and open sores within a few weeks.
Again, I don't know what it is about the strips, but I feel I've seen way too much to deny a correlation between injection of the strips and complications. Like a lot of things, you'll probably get away with it for a little while, but the nature of drug addiction is that we tend to focus only on the present and the immediate future, right? We don't consider what things will do to us over months, years or decades. We are worried about today and maybe tomorrow. You need to dig deep and heed what I'm telling you. I really advise against injecting Buprenorphine strips. I do not want anyone to get hurt unnecessarily.
You can take advantage of a pretty favorable bioavailability by dissolving the strips in a solution and administering them rectally. I 100% advise at least trying this before resorting to injection.
