Bupe Day 3 of NO SUBOXONE--how many 10/325's is ok to take?

I cant really get if you guys are dissagreeing or not, but this is how I see it.

Buprenorphine is a partial agonist. That being said, it is an incredibly potent partial agonist, with opioid agonist effects equivalent to 30-50 mg of methadone.

Bupe blocks in a different way than methadone does. Methadone raises your tolerance to the point where your opiate receptors are so saturated with methadone, that other opiates just cant touch it. You can no longer experience euphoria, just increased resperatory depression.

Buprenorphine binds strongly to the opiate receptors, so that when you take a percocet, it acts as an antagonist. The bupe is so tightly lodged into that receptor (again, I'm sure this is very simplified), that the oxycodone has no where to connect, and it just swims around in your blood. However, after a certain ammount of time without buprenorphine in your system, it begins to fall off these receptor cites, and when enough fall off, you start to enter withdrawal, and full agonists will work again (though after repeated dosing of bupe, your receptors get a little muddied, so the high's are not quite as euphoric). You still will be left though with the tolerance from bupe, after say, 72 hours, because like I said, it is a very potent opioid, partial agonist as it may be.

Even after five days, I would think it would be almost impossible to get high off of a weak drug like codeine. (remember .3mg bupe is = 10 mg morphine I.V.)

In the end it is a combination of bupe's high affinity, as well as the fact that it raises your tolerance. If you taper though, you will have a lot easier time getting off for one, as well as getting high off of other opiates. I gaurantee that 36 hours off of 2mg you will get way higher on oxy than you would 72 hours after 16 mg.
 
=D I think we're pretty much agreeing.

This is the arrived conclusion, albeit, I certainly didn't put it this succinctly.
 
lol. thanks every1! I'm eating these 10's like candy and stilll not what I'm looking for. I just moved from Chicago to Arizona so I'm not sure where I'd get anything stronger. Missin the H pretty bad. grr. But thank u for all the input. :)
 
like everybody stated you should use all your will power and just take 20 mgs when you start feeling super bad, not just when your mind is screaming at you to take them.. understand that will power is strengh and once you gain will power you will have some control again.. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET HIGH OFF OF TABS, PERIOD.. even when you get the shit out of your system your not going to get what your looking for
 
respectfully disagree...

@paper planrs... some of the best highs I've ever had were from uppers mixed with downers i.e. speedballs n what not. In my experience you do in fact feel both drugs n many times mixing them helps to keep some of the adverse affects away. For example speedballs, which I love... the meth keeps the nods from the H at bay n the H keeps the tweeked out anxiety from the meth away. Just my experience... anyone feel the same way?

Not like I would even know ;) but I am pretty sure there is some bomb dope in AZ. Not like you are better off going back to that (I know I wouldn't be). How long has it been since you last took any bupe/sub?

I remember the first time I ever had suboxone, I took 16mg over the course of a whole week (so a little more than 2mg/day/intranasal). I had all these Norcos I was saving for spring break (the week after), and I found it took almost two weeks before I could even begin to feel them. The point is, while this doesn't apply to everyone necessarily, and especially not when more potent opioids are considered, nonetheless for many people it takes a LONG time (as in weeks) to be able to enjoy many opioids after a suboxone binge/run/maintenance.
