Hey all. wondering a few questions about buprenorphine (Subutex) and how its supposed to be taken. Under the tongue i believe is the best? For how long if so under the tongue? I experience bad nausea sometimes what helps with that? Empty stomach or Full? How long do you keep under tongue and do you swallow your spit while dissolving it or not?

Yeah just let it dissolve and swallow spit..try not to drink anything I think an hour before and an hour after.
I used to break my 8mg tab in half then in half again(8mg is over kill) and put the 2mg under tounge around 3-4am and go back to sleep while under tounge..this way I would wake up feeling fine and dandy. Then I would brush the fuck out of my teeth and listening floss the whole nine and STILL my teeth are getting destroyed from these fucking things.
Don't get me wrong they are a life saver. And sort of a get out of withdrawal free card so to speak.. I used to crush a lil bit and snort it. Matter of fact if I am stillll taking these(I put myself on a longggg taper goal) after my next 200 dental appointments, then I will probably start snorting it again which is a big waste but still gets the job done, will not ruin my teeth, and I guess having less saturating my receptors is a good thing since I am trying to free myself from them.

What happens if you brush your gums before hand, till they are raw, and then applying?
I used to do this before apply daytrana patches to my gum (daytrana is a transdermal methylphenidate patch -- which is quite mild when placed on the skin, but strong as fuck when you put them in your mouth).

Ok thank you. Currently my issues are trying to dose at my sufficient dose which is 0.25-0.5mg every 4-8 hrs or so trying not to go over 2mg daily max. My current issue is my tablets are 2mg subutex (no naloxone), does snorting work? Collapsed my nose from bl0wing blues when I was younger (45% left nostril 80% right) so i try to avoid these days if possible but still doable. Wouldn't you have to hold the bupe up in your sinuses for a second for that to work? i feel it would go right down my throat like drips or whatever its called but never tried so could be wrong! Also my dentist said i have 40-60% gum recession from it that isn't repairable so I may need to give that a go.. I also saw that plugging works lol...
Funny you asked this. I woke up with a lesion in my mouth and as I was letting this mornings dose dissolve. Noticed a burning sensation and was wondering the same thing.. Thank you as always BL fam!
I need to do more research on how terrible, nasty and long this kick from subs will be...I have been taking it for a good year or more. I feel I can do it just trying not to get myself to psyched up or out about it all(because this will just make the kick worse, more so than it actually is , mentally.)
To answer your question yeah, unless you do the line nice and slow it should still stick pretty good on the membranes then drippity drip drip halk back all you can if its trying to run out the nose. Just Dont scarface it hard as you can and then i think it should work ok..Either way snorting is stupid especially with this drug..the orange reminds me of 30mg Addy which I've always hated that taste and burn. But yeah tired of my teeth becoming wrecked because of this stuff.

Dang, I appreciate that as well. I totally feel you regarding the nasty and long kick. I’ve done it. I jumped off 16mg of Bupe and 15-30mg of Valium daily cold turkey. Those withdrawals lasted about 45 days; I was literally bedridden for the first 25 of them. Granted, that was also due to both "benzos" and "opiates" together and a high dose of both, but yeah, I'm in the same boat.
Has anybody had sleep trouble with Bupe? I'm noticing I cannot sleep—not even for five minutes. Maybe I get 1-3 hours every few days. I'm not willing to take benzos or Lunesta, though, which is what my psychiatrist keeps trying to get me back on. I feel so lost, unguided, and frustrated. I just want a second to feel like I'm not carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Even my doctor keeps saying to go up to a full 2mg twice daily, and I know it will help, especially with the cravings. But since I'm only taking 1-2mg right now, I know if I go up, in a few months I'll be looking back like, "Damn, I should've made the jump when I was still at such a low dose," because I also worry about the tolerance shooting back up. I went from 2mg to 16mg within eight weeks (following doctor's orders).
Anyways, now I'm ranting. Time to go view the morning fix thread... or maybe the nighttime one. I don’t even know; the sun is coming up, but I've been up for two days and I'm starting to feel messed up just from the lack of sleep. Dang, I'm exhausted...
Buprenorphine caused my anxiety to get worse where I had to stop taking it. Not an overly common side effect but does happen.
With any drug a good taper plan would lesson the withdrawal symptoms
