Bupe Bupe--want my little euphoria, best way?

[tekworm]

Hi, looongtime reader, first time poster.

I have been on suboxone steadily for just over a year, started at 24mg but have been at 8mg for a good 6-8 months.
I love when I get that nice euphoria/energy boost. It makes me talkative and productive, but only lasts an hour tops, which is fine.
The problem is, WHEN I get that feeling is completely random. I have tried recreating certain conditions to no avail. Sometimes I will enter mild withdrawls before my time to dose (I usually dose every 24 hours), sometimes I can go 30 hours or more between doses without a touch of withdrawls.
Now Ive been reading how very low doses can give you this mild euphoria. So I really have 2 questions:
What brings on withdrawl symptoms sooner, taking a lower dose?
And how can I get the euphoric feeling? Should I wait for withdrawl symptoms then take say 0.5mg, or slowly lower my daily dosage until I am down to 2/1mg or even less?

Any info would be greatly appreciated..thank you!

PS: I am taking the strips.

Well, try Omega 3. I been on it for years, then stopped while on Sub, started feeling great, a couple of weeks, then worse than on it. Now today took it again and feeling way better, getting a bit itchy, more energy and so on. So guess Omega 3 does something with bupe, but seems too much can have a negative effect as well. Heard others getting depressed with omega 3 while on sub as well.

Also, above 2mg's don't give ya more sense of well being, just blocking more nerve ends. So less could be better.

I guess my question is, how fast can i drop from 8mg to 1 or 2 mg?

Pretty much overnight. 2mg is when you start to hit serious diminishing returns in opioid activity. 4mg is pretty much max opioid activity. 0mg to 2mg is a HUGE jump though.
