Counting Down till your next dose? [suboxone]

Damn, I had no idea so many opiate users actually got any kind of worthy buzz from this stuff...I was always jealous of the opiate-naive that get high off bupe, and now I've got more people to envy :(
 
If you get into a pattern of putting a lot of time between doses, you should be able to.

ALthough I also had tapered down to .5mg every other day and then slowly worked back up (been at 8mg now for 4-5 months, though)

True, I've never done anything to try and potentiate bupe. Although I have tried IV'ing the stuff, and again nothing came of it. Other than extreme paranoia afterwards...

I probably just one of those that can't get high off subs
 
I do that with klonopin-ambien. Every. Single. Day. 1mg in the morning, .5mg mid afternoon (can't find an ideal time yet), and then 10mb ambien at bedtime. I know it's not the normal way you get Rxed kpin, but I was already on ambien and switched ativan to klonopin and I developed a tolerance to ativan, dr thought this might help prevent tolerance from building (why do drs use the word prevent when it comes to tolerance? are they ignorant or just trying to convince patients placebo effect?) And I've overdone my Rx, so I've turned to

I'll let you fill in the blanks, but it's not a good road to go down. Though today I'm using Oxy instead, which seems surprisingly able to control the shakes and desire completely. Perhaps an even worse road to go down, though originally I got off Oxy and got on pot, which fried my short term memory, so I switched pot to dexedrine.

We're all just fuckups in some way or another. At least I am.
 
this world would be so much better if pills were either just pressed whatever or JUST xx active substance inside a capsule, wed prolly all be way more doped up but itd sure make banging and snorting pills alot eaiser lol

Does anyone here find that they count down every fucking hour until you can next take your suboxone?

I take it every 24 hours, but usually every 25, and I find that I'm counting down every hour until my next dose.

I make it until about 3 or 4 o'clock easily enough, but now from 7 until 11, that's all I'm going to think about.

I get a strongish buzz from it, aided by barbiturates still in my blood, which definitely makes it harder.

please tell me I'm not the only fuck-up out here.

lol, no dude.....most on this forum are probably fucked to some degree and I do the same with all my pain meds. I am on Methadone now and I do the same to this as you do to the sub. In fact, this is how I got addicted to the shit because I would just think....and think....and think about my next dose and eventually I just said "fuck it" and started taking it anytime I felt like it. Of course, the withdrawals were HELL!.

yea i saw that thread, but i still don't understand what is the point of subuxone (nalaxone) if its not to prevent people from shooting it???

It is to prevent people from shooting it, but it only works if the person has used another opiate recently. Say I used heroin right now (6:20 Eastern time, US) and then IVed suboxone with-in 30 hours from this point, it would put me into terrible withdrawals. If suboxone is the only drug you have used though, then the naloxone will have no effect.
 
Well, the Naloxone was originally put into it so people woudn't shoot it. It hasn't worked though.
