Hi, newbie here. I wanted to post how I was injecting subutex pills. There are a lot of people with knowledge here and I'm trying to be as safe as I can without giving up injecting.

First I do understand the dangers of injecting pills, or just injecting in general. That is a risk that I am assuming.

I do a lot of things such as using sterile disposable needles, lots of alcohol ( for cleaning the injection site, etc.). Not perfect but a lot better than nothing.

So let me describe my method for preparing the injection. I'll give sizes and types of material, it doesn't mean those are critical to the processing I'm just documenting how I'm doing it.

I use two three ml Luer slip syringes one with a needle and one without. I pull the plungers out of both. For the needle less syringe I pack a good amount of cotton, enough the it goes just beyond the 1/2 ml marking on the barrel. I crush up the bupe and put that in the syringe. Then put the plunger back in taking care not to blow the liquid out.

After the bupe is good and disolved I insert the syringe into the barrel end of the syringe with the needle. I push the plunger forcing the liquid through the cotton.

Once I have all the liquid into the syringe with the needle I reinsert the plunger and inject the usual and normal route.

It seems to me the positive is that you are able to use a whole lot more cotton than normal and there isn't any liquid seeping around a saturated piece of cotton that would normally be the case. I can tell you the filtered liquid is crystal clear, looks like water. Letting the syringe sit for a while does not result in any appearance of sediment.

Why not use a wheel filter? Those are expensive, several dollars per wheel. My way is far cheaper.

Just last night I might have discovered a down side, I got my first case of cotton fever. That SUCKED.I know that r passes, and it did but I was shaking uncontrollably, vomiting and just felt like ass. I just about went to the hospital but I remembered reading about this in some forums. So I looked it up (trying to type on an iPad while shaking uncontrollably is an adventure) and the symptoms matched including the rapid onset. Seeing that this is something that quickly passes I gutted it out. Took a coulple of hours to stop shaking and I then went to bed. Woe up not feeling 100% but far better than I did the night before.

Im speculating that the cotton fever might have something to do with the thicker than normal cotton and the forcing the water through it. So if I keep using this process I may well want to read up on cotton fever prevention.

Any thoughts? Look forward to reading some responses here!
 
How much are you shooting at a time? try to stay under 1mg at a time, better yet .5 at a time is what I do 2x a day. From what you posted it sounds like you only filter once. Deff filter it 2x with Tightly rolled WET COTTONS. you'd be surprised at how much better a wet cotton will filter than a dry one. WHen you put a dry cotton in water it puffs right out. A wet cotton on the other hand stays the same size when I drop it in water and can filter out smaller particles.

I've been using this method for a year with good results. REmember use good HR techniques and deff don't miss while shooting sub
 
U really could try other ROA's. I used to shoot bupe too. Now I do the alcohol/subL method for higher BA%. 1mg morning. .5mg evening, and it feels just as "good" and makes my stash last longer.

How much bupe u take in one shot? How often u shoot? R u very experienced with IV? Subutex/suboxone is not something to IV unless u know what u r doing. Not to offend but that may be why u had what u think was cotton fever. I was always super careful and cleaned everything with iso-alcohol when needed.
R u saving cottons? That's etra risky with subs.

What is your main question? There is tons of info on bupe iv if u use the search box. There's a thread for it too.
