Opioids IVing suboxone? Is it worth it?

[TRTCure]

I'm wondering for people who have shot suboxone if it gives you a rush? is it worth it? I usually put it in water and snort 2 mg every other day, but I'm curious if shooting it up is worth it.

Does a regular cotton ball work?

Is their any harm concerns like with shooting pills? I have the 8/2 mg films so I wouldn't think that their is much fillers or binders in it.

Thank you

Hello, it's not worth it there were several cases where people lost limbs.

^In this thread if you have some time to read you'll see how many times shooting it went wrong.

Shooting pills is a bad idea anyway because of the fillers and binders, you can minimize the risks with a micron filter (wheel filter) but not cut them out entirely. In this case the cotton is a no no situation. Anyway bupe has no rush like you would experience with heroin or morphine. On this forum there are several people that did it and will tell you that it's not worth it. So please refrain from doing it, do you have it prescribed for maintanance?

Edit:I noticed that you got films, even worse. Please stay safe and take them as they were prescribed.

Bupe - Reasons for injecting subutex

I?m prescribed subutex, not suboxone. I?m not sure if that difference will make an impact on potential answers. Why do users inject subutex (buprenorphine). I?m guessing there may be a slight difference in BA because that?s true for most drugs. But, I?ve read some posts where users (not on this...

I have extensive IV suboxone experience. It's not worth it.

I IVd bupe for years. Was originally put on suboxone but out of nowhere was switched to subutex due to an error from the pharmacy (but I wasnt complaining, until they found out about the error and put me back on suboxone though. No significant difference between them IMO). The BA of Subutex subligually is ~30%, whereas IV is 100%. It is a substantial difference. This is why I IVd it. I could save my bupe for bad days and continue to do H.
With IV, the effects also come on much quicker but do not produce any real rush. Instead of waiting 15-30min to feel relief from WD I get well in about 4-5min. There is no real difference from 2mg Iv- 8mg+IV. Effects seem to completely top out at around the 4mg mark.
Stupid decision to IV it though. I would mix my bupe with diphenhydramine on order to obtain some semblance of a rush. The nasty orange taste in the back of your thoat is almost as bad as holding it in your mouth. The solution gets gooey if not injected right away as well. Bupe injections and DPH injections OBLITERATED my veins. Not worth it to IV it unless you have a micron filter. Better to save your veins than to save your drugs.

IV suboxone is a nasty gooey thick solution that provides no rush and will harden your veins faster than any street opioid out there. It is by far one of the worst things you can put into your bloodstream. The film's are particularly bad. My vein would be gone within 2 months of 3x a day injections. Dont do it. If you want a quicker onset, use it rectally.

Thanks for the informative replies, I will stay away from the needle!

Agreed. Its an all around bad idea. No rush and the risks are huge.

Dont do it.
