My appologies in advance if this subject has been covered to death but having read hundreds of posts on the subject I feel I can provide some genuine, reliable insight.
I had a heroin / methadone problem when i began buprenorphine treatment. I had taken it many times in the past both prescribed and black market (in France GP's can/do prescribe it very freely) but I decided to make a go of it 6 years ago.
My initial dose was 8mg so the first few days were pretty rough since my methadone habit was 50ml daily.
I took 8mg sublingually for a few weeks under supervision then reduced to 6mg while taking home 7 days supply.
After 2 or 3 months on 6mg I noticed i would get a nice high + nod if i was relaxing when i took it. I used to take it in the morning and then suplement it at night with an extra 2mg.
Obviously this meant over-using so the end of the week was tough unless i could blag it with my doc and get an early top-up.
One day i found myself short and out of excuses to i decided to try snorting some.
I snorted around 1mg and to my utter surprise it was far stronger than sublingual.
I have been snorting it ever since, getting high amd nodding off daily. I now use 3.2mg daily as follows: 2 x 0.4mg pills at 9am 1.4mg at 5.30pm after work (i try to lie down and almost always nod off watchimg youtube) then 1mg at 11pm before bed.
Since i started bupe treatment i havent used any drugs, have a stable job and relationship.
I realise i am still utterly addicted but im able to function well and enjoy using bupe. I also beleive i benefit from other secondary effects. It helps with anxiety, sleep, mood.. Quick warning for bupe to aid sleep: If i take too much at 11pm it has a very odd effect similar to what ive had with H: I nod but cant actually sleep.
Like many of us when i asked for help i didnt truly want to stop using opiates i just wanted out of the game.
For those of you who havent had much luck with bupe i get it, but please dont say it has no recreational value. I must also add that i have zero experience with suboxone which i beleive complicates things regarding recreational use.
Ive yet to try plugging it as im worried i will waste it. If there are users here who are able to compare snorting and plugging im interested to hear your thoughts.
Peace. B
