id say about 7-8 years ago it seems Nubain was the rage although it was used mostly by the weightlifting crowd..i remember it was cheap and readily available, i got myself running a nice habit of it..it wasnt that strong but good enough to give you a nice buzz..it was a very functional buzz too which was great..when i quit using it Astra Labs had stopped making it but Abbott labs was still going..anyone ever try this??is it still used today??im completely out of that scene, i was just curious..
 
Nalbuphine was found to be ineffective in men (but not women) as a painkiller, strangely, so it has faded from the market's eye.
 
sekio-maybe as a painkiller it was ineffective but recreationally, it was great..nice, energetic, functional high, no nodding etc etc..

axe battler u in the USA??
 
they gave that to my fiancee when she was in labor delivering my first son...she said it made her feel loopy for an hour thats it, is this some kind of relative of bupe?

Nalbuphine is an opioid agonist-antagonist. However, it is more closely related to naloxone, naltrexone, and oxymorphone.

I'll illustrate so you can see the comparison.

Nalbuphine - Naloxone - Naltrexone - Oxymorphone - Buprenorphine

So its kind of of how suboxone formula is partial agonist/full antagonist, bupe and naloxone mixture. Than how come nubain is getting people high when IVed? when i IV suboxone, i dont get a rush, i just feel the effects 30mins later due to the naloxone, even tho upe has a higher affinity level, nalxone is fast acting and reaches the receptors faster than bupe, thus causing blockage of a rush? When i IV Subutex (straight bupe) i get a rush within seconds, so if Nubain is a mixture of an agonist and antagonist like suboxone, how do u still get a rush immediately, but not with suboxone?
 
Nalbuphine is a stronger agonist than buprenorphine, but weaker than morphine/oxycodone.

Nubain is not a mixture of an antagonist & agonist like Suboxone is - the chemical itself is termed an agonist/antagonist because it blocks some receptors but not others.
 
gotcha, yeah never heard of it ever until my fiancee was in labor, must not really be in the pharmaceutical industry nowadays, like the commercial opioids (hydro,oxy,dilaudid, etc)
 
I remember this stuff! I had it waaaaay back in 2003. My dad had just gone to rehab and I was cleaning out his room so when he came back he wouldn`t have any hidden goodies. I found 4 or 5 ampoules under his bed. I was into heroin(but only a bag a day) at the time but wasn`t shooting yet so I plugged 2,waited,didn`t feel much if any thing and plugged the rest. Whole lotta meh. Kind of forgot about Nubain to be honest.

Experiences may vary. Apparently, women perceive nubain better than men do.

Nalbuphine is a semi-synthetic opioid used commercially as an analgesic under a variety of trade names, including Nubain. It is noteworthy in part for the fact that at low dosages, it is found much more effective by women than by men, and may even increase pain in men,[1] leading to its discontinuation in the UK in 2003.

change-jug-umm if you were addicted to heroin and u took a shot of nubain, it would throw you immediately into withdrawals..
 
I plugged it,I wasn`t into shooting yet.And I most definitely did not go into any kind of WD`s. Are you sure it would cause that? If that was the case I can`t image my father holding on to that stuff. He was a nurse and very well versed when it came to drugs. Plus he was also a heroin addict so I don`t think he would use anything that would cause him to WD. Unless he was saving it for a emergency.
 
Nalbuphine is awesome as it's not a controlled substance in the USA. Love them ampuoles.
 
I have been taking Nubain for years, currently unavailable in the UK (source unavailable just now ;( )
I have had to stop because i can't get it but have been using co-codamol to reduce CD, however, I can do without the CC during the day but by 8pm I have REALLY bad restless legs, that doesn't stop until i've taken at least 6 CC - something I really want to cease doing. Reasearch suggests it's shortage of dopamine that causes restless legs, and codine counter acts that.

If anyone has any idea how I can prevent this happening, allowing me to stop using the codine I'd be VERY happy. I'm in the UK.
 
They gave me a shot of nubaine in the hospital and I am a guy and have a serious habit and I got high as a bird off of it. I've tried to find it every since, this is the first time I have ever even heard of someone that knew what it was as welll
 
This post is meant to "libsmum" 2 posts above me

You can prevent this happening by using a muscle relaxant/benzo such as clonazepam or diazepam and some kind of anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen. In most cases it wont stop it completely but it will help. You also have to stop taking any opiates/opoids, they further down regulate your opoid receptors and prolong the suffering of having the withdrawal symptoms. You need to let your receptors heal and they can't do that while you keep taking drugs, just man up and go through the light withdrawals and they will be gone in a week. Your research also should have indicated that taking more opoids to get rid of withdrawal symptoms is counter-intuitive to what you should be doing if you want to be done with the negative symptoms of not having enough endogenous dopamine. Anyways I hope this helps.
 
For LIGATURD...
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply, I really appreciate it. I would be (happy ?) ok to suffer the restless legs but it keeps me awake pretty much all night and I have 2 young children that need driving to school etc etc. I just wouldn't feel safe driving etc after 2 nights of no sleep (or a week if it takes that long). I WILL try the method you suggest though, in respect to your reply.
I read that once the body stops producing dopamine itself it is unable to re-start (this was after my ex husband had 2 strokes from cocaine/nubain/alcohol excess) ... can you shed any light on that please ?
