what does this high feel like? will i be nervous to where i need a xanax? a buddy gave me two 8mg strips (films) that supposidly you disolve under your tongue and he said its like a 30mg percecet and he said it lasts longer too ive been reading alot about it and ive been wondering about how i will feel after it wears off, which is how long does it get you high for? he said 12 hours. and should i take like 1/4th of the strip (film) instead of the whole thing or half? he said to take half 4mg my first dose, i have no tolerance to opiates right now. thanks for all replies!
 
Just do 1/8th or 1/4th if you've never done opis before, though bupe is quite a strange drug in that taking loads of it won't get you more fucked.

Don't take any xanax with it, should never combine opis and benzos unless you've got a lot of experience with both drugs.

Will most of the day yeah, you may not still feel the high after 12 hours but will still probably be feeling some effects off it, itching if nothing else.

Also recommend you get some antihistamines (cetirizine, loratadine, etc.), they're labelled as travel sickness medication in most pharmacies. One of the main side effects of opis is itchiness and nausea, and antihistamines can help prevent this.
 
If you have no tolerance to opiates, 4mg of buprenorphine (Suboxone) is way too much. I would start with 1/8th of the strip (1mg) as nAON recommended...maybe even less if you've never done opiates before.

Do not take Xanax with it. It won't make you nervous. It will cause nausea, in some people, extreme nausea. Buprenorphine is an extremely powerful opiate and needs to be treated as such.
 
oh im veryyy experienced :/ i just thought if i get panic attacks while im on it i could always take a xanax, so will i definatley recognized the high when i take it im use to vics and percs and have done morphine which is different, would you say SUBS are more like morphine or a perc? thanks man
 
I'd say that buprenorphine is closer to Percocets (oxycodone) then morphine. Your mileage may vary, however. At higher doses it feels more sedating (more like morphine).

Start low with your doses and give it plenty of time (at least a solid hour or 90 minutes) to kick in before thinking about redosing. Buprenorphine takes a while to completely kick in.

okay sounds great, and do i just place the 1/4th peice under the tongue and leave it for how long before drinking any water or any tips on how to take it?
 
When I was prescribed suboxone, I had a real high opiate tolerance. It didn't really get me much of a buzz. Just prevents you from getting withdrawals, helps with pain and keeps you "even" for lack of a better word. That was several years ago. A couple months back a friend gave me a strip because my back was hurting (I quit pain management more than a year ago) It was sort of energizing like the old days when I abused oxys as at this point my tolerance is pretty low. Agree with above post - I wouldn't take xanax with it. You would end up just falling asleep.

should i cut it into four pieces then cut those four peices in halfs and just take halfs of the 1/4th pieces? i have NO opiates in my system
 
If you have one 8mg strip and cut it into four pieces then each piece would be 2mg. If you then cut each of those pieces into halves the resulting pieces would be 1mg pieces (1/8 of the entire strip). Since you don't have any opiates in your system, taking 1mg is a good idea. You can always take more but you can't take less. Taking too much Suboxone will make you pretty sick and you won't enjoy the experience.

I recommend breaking it down into eight 1mg pieces (or cutting four 2mg pieces in half - its the same result - eight 1mg pieces total) and just taking 1mg to start out with.

in your opinion taking the 1mg would equal which dose of what other recreational opiate just trying to get my feeling before i go into it so i know what to expect example 5mg perc etc..
 
No, it would take time to develop a physical dependence, If you were to take 1mg everyday for a few weeks you would probably develop a physical dependence ( sooner if you've had a previous opioid addiction ). But at that dose it wouldn't be very severe.
