Yeah it's to do with the long half life of the bupe.

If you're switched on to an appropriate dosage even from a 'lower' opiod such as codeine then you shouldn't be getting any increased effects, and the long half life is useful for helping people get stability back in their lives and regain a degree of normality. The slowing of the fluctuation in activity at the receptor helps break the pattern of psychological addiction too, it's been shown that drugs with shorter half lives are more psychologically addictive than those with longer ones. In a way it's kind of common sense really if you think about it, if you had a drug where you could dose someone once a year it would have essentially no ongoing prescence in their mind on a day to day basis, if you had one where you have to dose every 30 seconds they're never going to be thinking about anything else. I would be looking very seriously at the situation surrounding the codeine user before putting them on to bupe though if I was a drug worker, certainly it should only be in extreme cases.
 
[hat=moderator]I have just edited a bunch of posts to convert embedded videos to links.

Not everybody will always necessarily have the patience to do that. It's much easier to disappear the whole post.[/hat]

Consider this a friendly warning.

I understand what you're saying but I had my reasons for going on suboxone and my key worker and doctor (who is a psychologist understood this). My family cut off all my contacts to the pure codeine so I was taking lots of nurofen plus which could, of course, mess up my kidneys and as I mentioned a few times, refused to do cold water extraction because I wouldn't get as much codeine and in me as quite as possible. Because addiction warps the mind, of course, as we both know.

I need the emoticon from my other forum here. It's cut from this picture:

Partly because hes bald... his name has gold in it... they rhyme... goldilocks had lots of hair so its a nice contrast... Baldy Goldilocks... but the Baldy part could be considered a bit harsh so Goldilocks will do. apart from that, fuck knows
 
Thank you :)
