A little quick background: I am a buprenorphine (formerly heroin) addict who had the brilliant idea to begin injecting the awful crap a few years ago. Now at this point I know quite well how stupid this is and how lucky I am to still have all my arms and legs, so please spare me the usual "don't shoot pills" lecture. Until the 23rd I've run out so I'm going to be on good ol' smack until then, and although I've found that a period of "use" can reduce my tolerance when I return to the bupe I doubt it will lower my tolerance enough to begin sublingualling again.

I use the generic buprenorphine mfrd by Roxane Labs. I had for quite some time used 0.22 micron wheel filters at the end of a 3ml luer lock barrel to do a second filtering after drawing through a cotton, but found I was loosing up to 20% of my solution into the wheel filter. I am about to purchase a 25pk of vacuum 0.22micron vacuum filters units and a load of vials so that I can prepare a weeks worth of solution with bacteriostatic h2o. My concern is that as effective at removing insoluble particulate matter as the vacuum filtration units are I still worry about the unwanted crap that may be soluble. I've been unable to find specific data on this, anybody have any ideas?

For the record I need this technique to keep me from stroking out or something over the next 6-8 months; after which I'll, god willing, be undergoing Ibogaine therapy in the Netherlands.

I apologize if this is miscategorized and appreciate any input the community has to send my way :)
