Great Post!! I took my last bupe dose today, I had about 4mg but said fuck it, and slammed it all with 10mg of valium (from an ampoule), and I was screaming from pain and pleasure at the same time....loved the warm rush, then I just chilled, smoked cigs and watched a movie with my sis, but I was on cloud 9 the whole time, I just came down... so now I guess I'll have some mild w/'ds amd then it's back to the naltrexone, well at least I could appreciate, even if not for such a longtime, what a great and lifesaving med buprenorphine can be. About the standard opiate tests, they only test for Opium and it's alkaloids, and the alkaloids alkaloids....there are special strips for testing bupe, just like the 5 panel Opiate strip sasy OPI this one says BUP, there are also special strips for Methadone and oxy.....I'd guesss you're more likely to test positive after eating a poppy seed bagel than you are if you just take bupe, but if your freedom is at stake is understandable, but no need to difame such a great drug.
Ombladon: it all depends on the Province where you live, some provinces (cough, fucking Alberta) have bupe still in it's trial stage, I guess it should be available in B.C. but have no factual data, and as far as the East Coast is concerned prolly Quebec and Ontario have it....I was gonn import a whole lot (legally, thru the Ministry of Health) from a physician from my family who lives in Alberta, and he gave me the bad news, and said in other provinces it might be different...anyway sooner or later there's gonna be bupe approved in all Canada, it's gonna take a couple of years though it seems.
