Suboxone Film IV Experience
Cheers my fellow buprenorfiends, I've been lurking around these parts & absorbing the plethora of wisdom offered up by this community for just about the entire duration of my opiate (ab)use, ~5 years. That's a whole 'nother story, for a whole 'nother thread, but overall you will come to find that I'm pretty knowledgeable in this department. So without further introductions, allow me to explain what, after all these years, sparked my interest enough to finally register, & toss my two cents into the ring.
Currently, I am a suboxone patient, & have generally been keeping myself clean, with the exception of my first love, Mary Jane, for about 4-5 months now. I started @ 16mg daily, taking the traditional stop signs, I have now tapered down to 8mg daily, and have, as of the beginning of this month, switched over from the tabs to the SL Film. I wanted to post the experience I had IVing these films, not that it's anything shocking, but I figure some may find it informative given the current lack of info on the subject.
The first time I saw these bad boys, my initial thoughts were how ideal these things looked for bootin', especially compared to the Hex Tabs (Which I have also IVed *ick*) Well, about an hour ago, feeling restless, I finally decided to give it a go. I cut a strip down into two ~1mg doses, each about the size of a hit of LSD. At that point I was unsure if I wanted to bang 1 or 2mg, but I ended up dropping both of them in the spoon (I don't think I need to explain to you intelligent folks why less=more with Bupe,
especially when IVing Sub). I cleaned my supplies off with an alcohol swap, and shot about ~70 units of water into my spoon. I had to mash it around with the plunger for a couple minutes for it to completely dissolve, I then applied a little heat for shits, I imagine that assisted a bit in breaking it down. Now, as other posters have noted, this stuff tends to thicken the solution to a somewhat slimy consistency, when I first received these strips, I attempted to dissolve a whole 8mg in a spoon, no intention of shooting, just wanted to see what I was working with. Now THAT turned into some slime, the likes of which I couldn't possibly draw up into my rig, and also had a very hard time dissolving the film itself completely. However, with a minimal dose, and the proper ammount of water (In this case 70 Units-2mg) I was able to produce a solution that was easy to work with, which I had no trouble drawing up, albeit slightly viscous. Now I would venture to guess that a micron filter would significantly increase the quality (
&Safety!) of this solution, alas I do not have one at my disposal, soo up through my cigarette filter it goes, with very little effort might I add, into my 31 gauge sharp, I tie off..let's do this.
I stick myself in the left bicep, and am surprised at how cleanly my blood is able to flow into the rig, despite reading otherwise, here goes nothin', I depress the plunger & inject the first 35 units, ~1mg (better safe than sorry) Although there's not much in the form of a rush with this stuff, I do distinctly feel the Bupe wash over me. Next comes probably the strangest, and possibly most telling observation I made during this process. I look at the syringe, whose contents I have now injected half of, and notice that the blood which I drew in during my first shot, appears as if it is in suspended animation. I don't know how else to describe it, but it appeared as though the blood was frozen amid the contents of the rig, and did not move for several minutes, even when the sharp was shaken, or rotated. My guess is whatever inactive causes the slimy consistency of these films when dissolved, is responsible for suspending the blood. Eventually the blood in the syringe did diffuse, and the contents of it turned an even red, after quite a few moments of clarity with an immobile streak of blood in the middle. This had me thinking that this shit
cannot be too good to be pumping into your veins..better than IVing the pills, with their cornstarch & 400mg of filler? Yes, probably healthier than that, but at the same time probably not too healthy at all, I would probably be more concerned about this than the white ink. Of course I had to finish my shot though, and that went just as smoothly as the first half, no soreness, hardened veins, or raised injection sights like I have gotten when IVing the Sub Tablets, so I imagine that if you must IV Sub, these strips are definitely a safer option, however the viscosity of it when dissolved, and the way the solution interacts with blood puzzles me, and is somewhat alarming. Does anybody have any insight about this, or general comments/questions?
Edit: If you actually read all of that, thank you..hell of a first post
Please be as safe & responsible as possible people!
