Hey guys, so I've been on suboxone for about 2 years now and i recently decided to start tapering off. I've found it's hard to manage small doses with the suboxone strips, but after digging through threads online, i found a great way not only get way more out of my suboxone stock, but also taper my does down faster than i ever imagined possible. Essentially, I found a way to snort suboxone strips.
Suboxone has a much higher bioavailabilty nasally than sublingually, but until now i didn't know there was a way to snort the strips. But a couple of weeks ago, I found out that if I dissolve the strips in saline solution, in a nasal spray bottle, I'm able to pretty much snort suboxone, getting the higher bioavialability, and managing doses fractions of milligrams. Here's how i do it.
I bought a good nasal spray bottle and a bunch of saline solution. Im the kind of guy that likes to know exactly how much I'm taking, so i measured exactly how much saline solution i'm mixing with exactly how much suboxone by counting the amount of sprays i got per bottle. I found that if i use about one and a half shot glasses full of saline solution, it makes pretty much exactly 80 sprays from the bottle, so if i mix that with 1 8mg sub strip, that means that for every 10 sprays, i get one milligram of suboxone. If i wanted to i could put 2 strips in that same amount of solution and get 1 mg every 5 sprays and so on and so forth. Since I started taking suboxone like this, i've been able to get by on a fraction of the amount of suboxone i was taking, I'm guessing because of the higher bioavailabilty, and i've been able to measure my taper pretty accurately and taper much faster than if i was taking it sublingually.
3 weeks ago I was taking 8 mg per day, and had been for almost 2 years. I went from 8 to 6mg in about a week, then from 6 to 4 in about another week, and after that went to the nasal spray bottle and went from 4 mg to about 1mg in less than 2 weeks. I simply do one or two sprays every time i start to feel my early withdrawal symptoms and 20 min later, i feel fine. I end up doing that around 5 times a day, but I'm trying to spread it out as much as i can. Not only am i stretching by sub stash way further than before, but at this rate, i feel like i'll be able to get down to a does so small that i won't feel any withdrawals at all when i get off completly.
All in all, I've found this method very helpful and wanted to share it with you guys. You don't have to count the sprays like i did, you can really just throw a couple of strips in a bottle of saline solution, and you're good to go. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback
