ive snorted a few. just tear a piece off and then tear that into little tiny bits. then snort them a few bits at a time. they can actually be torn pretty easy if you do it a little at a time.
Look,I found a way where you don't have to "snort" these strips.Especially if you're actually snorting the strips.Just stick it up there!! Here's what I do:First blow your nose out and get all those boogers(yes ALL the boogers)Then I take a q-tip or a piece of toilet paper, dip the q-tip some ISO alcohol and rub on the inside of your nose,especially where you're gonna put it.(yes it will burn for a few seconds,I actually like the burn)Then just stick the piece of strip in your nose,prob as far as you can get it to the membranes.I have put it on the inside of my nose on the flesh where the cartilage is,and it just sticks and eventually melts in you nose.
I also try to have my strip ready if Im gona put it in my nose,so when i rub the inside with alcohol I like to time it so there's just enough ISO where I put it to help with the absorption,since alcohol helps with that.But I will say,even though nasal does seem to work fast.I have just been putting them under my tongue(anywhere from .5 -1.5mg)and it seems to work pretty fast.And thats the strips Im talking about.And even tho those strips do stick pretty good to anything wet,especially the inside of your nose,just keep checking on it with a flashlight to make sure its still there.Im pretty sure it still will be.Oh,also when you place it in your nose,make sure you get it where you want it it,because if you try to move it especially when it's wet,it will most likely get stuck to your finger and it will be almost impossible to get it back in.And then you have to 'try' and put it under your tongue or get it wet in a solution just so you dont waste it.
I hope this has helped any with the nasal route administration of suboxone strips.Again since they do have hardly any fillers,the drug will work faster anyway you administer.And I can vouch for the "less is more" theory.I have done opiates for ~8yrs,and have had a problem with the needle,and just plain 'ol drugs,period.But,I do feel that less IS MORE because of the whole norbuprenorphine being able to attach to your receptors if you take less suboxone.I also think it works better in less amounts,since low doses are used for pain,and higher doses are used more for opiate dependence and has its blockade effect.Again, hope this helps if you are considering the nasal route.:
