Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid that is used to treat opioid addiction and to control pain in non-opioid tolerant individuals. Each tablet contains 2mg of Buprenorphine, is a clean white colour and measures only 5mm in diameter. It is ingested sublingually, which means you place the tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve.

I can't tell you too much background information without incriminating myself, so all i can say is that the best experience i had with this stuff was in the last year, it's highly addictive and incredibly dangerous stuff to play around with. Its recommended that you take a maximum of 1 in any 24 hour period, and no more than 4 in any seven-day period. I've always had a high tolerance to painkillers and recreational drugs. So i took 26 at once.

I did this at home, alone, had a week off work and wanted to see what the best trip you could get off prescription meds was like. As the tablets dissolved my tongue and gums went almost painfully numb, almost instantly i felt lighter, happier and all the little aches and pains i didn't even know i had were gone. About 15 minutes in i experienced that warm, content feeling that only opium can provide. Euphoria was coupled with this and for 2-3 hours i felt completely ecstatic, like the height of an mdma trip.

Eventually the morphine overcame my body's futile resistance and i began to stagger and slur, my limbs became heavy and clumsy. I lost co-ordination completely, i was making coffee and poured boiling water on my hand. Didn't feel a thing. I opened the cupboard at face level and didn't think to move out the way, smashing the door into my face. Didn't feel a thing. I looked in the mirror and saw blood pouring down my face. Its the strangest thing, it actually felt nice and warm, like being hugged. After this i decided it would be safer if i sat down.

I was mildly hallucinating for the next few hours, nothing serious, until i suddenly felt like i was being watched. In the corner of the room was a cloaked figure, face hidden, not looking directly at me but still watching me. Not one to be perturbed by a figament of my imagination i pointed out where the door was and told him to use it.

That night was the best nights sleep i have had in my entire life. But what came after was hell. I felt so bad the next day i took more to ease the sickness and dizziness and pain. It took me 3 months to fully stop taking them. Opiates are not to be messed with, i have the highest tolerance to drugs of anyone i know and it really surprised me how easily i got hooked in. I thought coke had been hard but opiates are a marathon by comparison, they play with your mind and make you see opium as the answer. You'll imagine headaches, stomach pains, even an itch as an excuse to take more. My advice? Stay well clear.
 
The ceiling dose is like 16mg-32mg iirc. You wasted a ton of meds.


EDIT: Tolerance has absolutely nothing to do with the risk of addiction.

I did loads of research and was aware of that, but i've had several operations under opiate based anaesthetics which didn't work. The last time I was given the highest dose he was allowed to administer and I still felt the whole thing. Apparently i'm opioid tolerant, even against synthetic types, it takes a lot to overpower my system.

Your point on addiction is appreciated, as it's the point I was trying to make. I was far too cocky back then, now I understand that I, unfortunately, am not as invincible as I first thought.
 
why the fuck would you take 26? im sure you didnt even bother to read up on the drug either.

I find your tone aggressive. It's also very small minded of you to make presumptions about what I am like from a few paragraphs by myself. I did plenty of research thankyou, I always fervently read up on any drug before ingesting it. I knew exactly what I was doing and i chose to do it. Don't try to insult my intelligence when you can't even find the Caps lock on your keyboard.
 
Just to let you know OP, there is no morphine in buprenorphine nor is it converted to morphine...it is it's own chemical.

Very good point, wrote that by accident, the two feel so alike I often substitute 'morphine' as most people wouldn't know the difference. Also, it rolls of the tongue easier, and people know instantly what you're getting at, buprenorphine is a bit of a mouthful. Well spotted.
 
This sounds like a horrible experience. I'm glad you're OK. Hopefully, this is a lesson you'll remember.
Thanks, i definetly learnt my lesson this time. Opiates aren't all they're cracked up to be. It was interesting and fun and I don't regret it, but thats no way to live your life.
 
You are very lucky that bupe is not easy to overdose. There is a ceiling effect so taking more than 16mg is pointless.

My body doesn't understand the word overdose lol. I tried many times with many things, in the end I came to the conclusion that I wasn't meant to die.
 
How did you take them sublingually? That seems like it would take awhile to dissolve 26 pills under your tongue......and taking 26 of them is just stupid. The ceiling is 32mg, and anymore than that will not increase any effects.......I don't understand how you stated that you did research on bupe beforehand, because if you did, you would have not taken 26 pills.

That's something you don't want to continue putting to the test. Your body does understand the word, overdose. Believe me. You need to understand the word, limitations. There have been many before you with the same mindset who are no longer with us. We don't want you to join them.

I'm talking in past tense, i've grown up since then. There's more to life than dangerous manmade drugs, there's weed! How many people ever overdosed on that?

I don't understand how you can try to predict what i would and wouldn't do with information i've obtained and then try to call me stupid. Just because you wouldn't do something yourself doesn't mean everyone else wouldn't do it either.
 
With Bupe less really can be more. Ive taken maintenance dosages up to 16mg but for recreation its best IV'd under 2mg.

I AM calling you stupid because anything above 32mg is a waste......there are no increased effects, and if you did your research as you described, you would have realized this. And like others have said, less bupe is more. I am sorry if you do not understand this, it is quite simple to understand with proper research.......so if I were you, I would just not take bupe and stick with other opioid agonists until you have a full understanding of buprenorphine.
