^
you're not talking to me are you?? because if you are i have no idea what your talking about. i never told you anything "dude"iv'e never even talked to you lol.
 
hahaha no bro. i was talking to someone else. but do u think u could answer my question tho? i think the other dude got offline and i want to shoot this bitch NOW!! lol
 
ok so i IVed it, 25 units of water and 1mg of suboxone pill, and i felt AMAZING! it was definitely worth it! i did about 1-1.5mg and i could still feel it a little bit like 3 hours after i shot it! i definitely don't regret it! and i suggest that if anyone who does subs that hasn't IVed it before to do it because it feels really really REALLY good!
i was just curious about how many units to use per mg because i wanted the strongest, yet still being safe, dose. ya'know?!!!!! (:
 
^ i only said 25 units because you only had 30 to work with cuz of the size of your rig and didn't want you to risk pulling out the plunger on accident while registering.
but im glad it worked so well for you!
welcome to BL by the way.

you can put 1 mg technically into only 5 units. I believe 16 mg is soluble in two ml of water.

^ good to know. %)
so basically one cc/mL per 8mg pill.
 
thanks ninja! ur the first to welcome me to this site. (: i have to admit it is pretty cool, LOTS of info about drugs. its a very interesting website to me because i do like every drug out there so this site is a good way to know what ur doing and to be safe about it.
oh and btw i found this out:
Buprenorphine is soluble to 12mg/mL of water! so that right there gives me all my answers to how many mgs to units i should use!(:
 
Ok I have decided after 2 years that it is time to start tapering my suboxone with the goal of coming off of it. I dont really have to be in a hurry as I have plenty of subs. My curent dose falls between .5mg and 1.5mg a day I honestly havent been paying much attention to it but I know that it is under 2mg a day. I generally dose once every 24 hours or so. I see people on here talking about dissolving the pills in alcohal and measuring like that but I honestly have almost zero understanding of practical chemistry or measurment units and none of the tools on hand. I could go buy them if its absolutly necesary. I want to get down to 1mg a day as quickly as possible as im really tired of the constipation and blocking effects it causes at doses above this. The main problem im having is cutting the pills into 8 equall parts I also have a limited number of the strips but I dont seem to be very good at cutting them into equall parts either I know that sounds dumb but its the truth. Sorry I guess im rambling a bit so if this post is not clear on something let me know and I can claify.

Also I wanna thank everyone who contributes on hear especially Captain Heroin you guys do a great job!

you're going to find that shooting suboxone over 2 mg turns into a waste, and that wonderful feeling will go away real quick. You want to taper or keep your dosing low to maintain that nice high

oh, and to crimsonjunk,
the reason people make suboxone/alchohol solutions is so that the buprenorphine will absorb better, which if your trying to quit, you don't want to do. However If you want to taper by using water measurements it's really easy. just dissolve 2 mg in 1 ml (100 units of water) and then spray out 50 units, and that would be a 1mg solution which you could absorb with a cotton ball and stick under your tongue. You could then gradually decrease it by very small amounts (say 2 units/day) which will make tapering down much easier.

I know what you mean about cutting the strips up to, I wish I had the two mg one's it would be so much easier to slice them. I'm fairly good with an exacto blade after years of drug abuse and art school, but those 8mg strips are all cracked and it makes it hard to cut them right

@Znegative yah thats what i have been told. i just did my 2nd sub shot and its not anywhere near as good feeling as the first one but i can still feel something. no rush this time. not as potent. then again maybe it is cuz i only used about less than 1mg this time and in my first shot i used about 1.5ish. well atleast im hoping that is why. im gonna do 1.5-2mgs a little later and im really hoping i get the feeling i did the first time. fingers crossed. lol.
 
debrutsid911,
you're not going to get the same effect ever again if you keep I.V'ing bupe in those dosages. Force yourself to limit your maximum daily dosage to 1 mg, I would do a total of either two or four shots a day up to that dosage. 2 mg of suboxone I.V is approximately = in strength unfourtunately to about 6-7 mg subllingual, and you know how that works after a few days. Your best bet at maintaining a nice buzz and rush with I.V bupe is to taper as low as possible and stay that way. When I shot my suboxone up, I didn't feel the benefits 'till I was doing a max total of about .7 mg a day, usually .150 shots. At that point you are below the cieling effect so you really feel the buprenorphine. Then you can also treat yourself at that point by doing a 1 mg or 2 mg shot here and there if you're really looking to get higher,but like I said, you can't really do that effectively more than once a week (or really for best results) once every two week. A lot of people think the half life changes when they I.V because the duration is so much shorter, but that's still not the case, so you do have to worry about the half-life build up just the same.

I'm going to cut down to 1 mg SL on monday. I'm kind of nervous and conflicted. I'm trying to decide whether to stay on the 1 mg, or after the 72 hour mark taper down to .5 for a day or two and just drop it from there.

Anyone know about how long it takes for someone who jumps off suboxone for there tolerance (to suboxone) to go away? I'm guessing that tapering down as small as you can before the jump is the best way to go, because say if you jumped off at .5 mg after stabalizing, I would think that it would take that much less time for your tolerance to return to baseline than say if you went CT at two mg.

The thing is that I don't want to quit suboxone forever, I just want to jump off it for long enough that I'm no longer dependent, and then use it at super low dosages once or twice a week to get high. I know it's probably wishful thinking but it would be fucking awsome if I could manage to do that. I know this though, once I do get through the withdrawal, i will make sure I never get stuck on this stuff again.
 
ok, that makes sense. im not going to do it for like a week anthen im gonna do it like .2g with 25 units of water and see how i feel. thanks dude. kinda sad now tho cuz all i can get are subs and i really wish i could get something else to do :/ i hate where i live there is only weed, subs, and vikes. it really fucking blows. fuck ohio man.
 
fuck ohio indeed, both sides of my family are from there so I go about twice a year. My friend once told me that theres a lot of dope in cincinatti, and I imagine there's gotta be something better than vikes.

and yeah I was under the impression that you were on suboxone maintenance therapy, which is why i said that about the tolerance and less is more. If you can wait a week between dosing and dont have to suffer the withdrawal, than fuck it you can do 4 mg or whatever as long as you do it very rarely.

I've been reading that the BA for suboxone films is about the equivalant to insufflation of the pills.. Is this true?? I really hope not cause it will mean I havn't made as much progress getting down to two mg a day as I though
 
Just checking in here to let you guys know how I made out. Originally I went to see the Dr. to request Subs. He gave me a week worth and drew blood for liver tests, gave me 14-8's and told me comeback in a week.

Since then I returned after the week, and everything was fine. I was worried about my liver due to all the partying I have done in my younger years. Luckily though, everything turned out normal. The Dr wrote me a month prescription for 60-8 mg tablets at 2 a day. Now I feel great, and am extremely thankful that I can go to work and feel normal, and not have to spend my money on stuff illegally just to make it through the day. I would like to eventually get myself off EVERYTHING all together, but im going to take it one step at a time.
 
Hey Everyone,

My name is Ryan and I'm a 31 year old drug addict currently on Suboxone ( this new epidemic ! ) You know it's so funny, I remember looking at these posts for years on all sorts of stuff helping me get high, and now it's that time in my life with a loving wife and 3 kids I'm finally looking to help stop...THANK GOD!!! Thanks to everyone for all of your plentiful insight. Anyway, my doc here wants me to take 2 - 8/mg strips per day for a total of 16. I personally think thats way to high and am totally fine with one. Now, I'm really looking for a good way to taper off of this stuff because I'm so tired of my happiness and my life for that fact depending on this dam drug. Granite, it did help me getting off the Heroin but now obviously this has become my new romantic relationship. I've seen so many answers as to how to taper off this stuff from different docs and people as well. I guess it depends on that everyone is different and can tolerate certain things. I'm not to keen about the whole rapid detox stuff...but whatever it takes to minimize the pain I will try my best. Also, since I only take one a day and I get prescribed 2/day every month now I have 30 left. I literally have about 200 Sub strips sitting around...would it be wise hanging on to them>??? Or should I just throw em out?? I don't know. I have been on it roughly 2 years now. Plus, I have severe..I mean severe depression already with it and have tried every anti-pill in the book. The only thing that really helps is tons of caffeine / sweets, etc. My old doc suggested getting prescribed Adderall with the subs....any thoughts from you guys would be highly appreciated. Again, thanks to all..from Atlantic City, NJ :0)
 
there is someone on this site who is on suboxone and adderall so maybe they will chime in.

about the extra sub strips- dispose of them if u dont wanna be tempted to take them, that's just common sense,
goodluck
