I have one pill left.
I was wondering if I IV Suboxone, over sublingual administration, is the duration affected?
In my experience I never really paid attention to the difference, I just switched to Iving. But from what I remember of other pills' effects, from IVing, it only lasts about 2 hours.

I would much rather IV, but right now duration is more important.
I did search for this and I couldn't find anything, so I'm sorry if it's a repeat.
Any help's greatly appreciated
 
if you have one pill left, i would take it personally as your supposed to, sublingually..if you know how to snort it correctly do that. if you snort, do only a quarter at a time and do it slow, so it doesnt hit ur throat, u need it to stay in ur mucous membranes to absorb and give u a good kick and higher Bioavailability. if you snort it too hard it ends up in ur throat, to ur stomach, leaving u with a 10% in ur bloodstream. as far as IVing...if u got one pill and u say it lasts only a couple hours, dont do it....because u will regret it afterwards all for trying to catch a buzz..go sublingual, u will be good for up to maximum 48hrs withdrawl free...
 
Thank you for your response.
I was trying to wait for input, but I couldn't because there's laundry that needs to be done haha
To clarify though I am not, or wasn't, trying to catch a "buzz," just have a needle obsession, and simply trying to accomplish tasks. It helps me focus, which is weird. Or maybe it helps me <i>be</i>, who knows. It was prescribed to me, but I couldn't handle the flavor after a while so my only option was to stop taking it. Then I discovered IVing (it), and then realized I couldn't do opiates while on Suboxone so stopped, again. But more recently I've put myself back on it when I've needed a bit of help… And I’ve run out. Total bummer. But the naloxone is not great for your liver anyway, I guess.

When I was referring to the IVing lasting a couple hours I was more referring to OCs and Ritalin. I think IV heroin lasted a bit longer, I can't even remember now : /
I've tried snorting Sub a couple times and found it to be not much different than sublingual ROA, only with the gagging horrible taste there longer because of the drip.
Sorry for my rambling, but I feel so able (and not anxious) now which makes me go on.. And probably make a fool of myself.

Oh, is this snorting technique how you would snort everything snort-able? I had never thought about the technique of snorting..
And where do you get your information? About 10% bioavailability if you swallow, was that from the “Megathread”?
The reason I'm asking is I gave one of my friends an 8mg tablet, told her to do a forth or so and let it dissolve under her tongue. Needless to say she popped it, ended up throwing up, but said she felt pretty good, or “messed up” as she put it, after that.
Again, sorry for the length.




I am still curious to know if the ROA affects the duration time.. Have you any idea? Anyone?
I did check in the Megathread and search engine..
