Well hey there ive picked up many good things from indiana lol :) I have a question im on my phone so its a bit hard to search and things but im about to try to get off H with suboxen and I heard you can IV them. Is this true?
 
Well if you are genuinely concerned about ur dope usage i would take ur bupe the way the prescribing doc tells you too. If ur just lookin to get high off them by trading one drug for another then just stick with ur H to be honest. There's no reason anyone should shoot subs unless they're tryna get high. My honest opinion.
 
Alrighty thank ya much im jus nit getting tge rush from H anymore nd it dissapoints me. :(
 
You're not gonna get a rush from bupe IV, trust me. And I've shot subs once before, but I wasn't looking for a high, I was looking for pain relief, because 4mg snorted didn't help, 4mg plugged didn't help, and then I found that 2mg IV, followed by another 2mg IV 10 minutes later, didn't help, so I said fuck this shit, I'd rather get a script for 8 tram a day, take them at once, and get more pain relief in this manor.
 
Ha, if you don't get a rush anymore from H... you think bupe is going to give you one?

With an opiate tolerant individual, there is no high from bupe, let alone a rush.

If you're not even enjoying your H usage anymore (which totally happens) either quit for real (using bupe the normal way) or at least take a tolerance break.
 
Someone should mention you should def not iv subs if you have any amount of another opioid (i.e. heroin) in your system, as the subs will send you into precipitated withdrawal. This is much more likely to occur if you ivthe sub rather than take it sublingually etc.
 
I HIGHLY recommend not IVing suboxone when ur trying to kick heroin, u may still have traces of it floating in ur system, and the naloxone is going to kick ur ass, and the bupe itself will cause precip WD. why IV it? the act of IVING is the huge addiction to heroin.
 
yeah my recent bout with PW's a couple weeks ago was a harsh learning experience. i didnt wait long enough and tried to IV part of a sub strip, which i have experience doing in the past numerous times. i had thought i was in WD even tho it had only been 10 hours or so since IV heroin. wow was that ever a mistake, i certainly wasnt in WD bad enough.
As soon as i took the needle out from my shot of about .5mg or so of a strip ( a tiny amount of the strip) i had a horrible burn and then instantly began to have profuse sweating and super huge dialated pupils. the amount of anxiety i had was crazy, i almost went insane from precipitated withdrawal, it also flared up a pre existing sciatica issue that had been under control for a while prior to that. I ended up in the ER that night from the extreme pain in my leg from the sciatica. i do think it was worse because i chose to IV too... i think the naloxone may have made it worse since its only active if u inject it. however idk it may have been only the bupe that did it. either way it was a bad mistake and now i plan to only take sublingual. like today i started bupe, and even at 40 hours clean or so was still scared about getting PW even taken sublingually. i started with about 2 mg and waited a couple hours then 2mg again as i didnt get PW from the first dose. just giving u some advice from someone who has been there...

it certainly does NOT get u high from IV use. most describe it as a "glow" at very best. no reason to use subs for recreation, imo.

Id say only IV subs if u are desperate to make it last as long as possible because u dont have much left. even then a LOT of risk is involved in doing it. plenty of potential problems, certainly dont miss any of that crap. some have had crazy abcesses from sub IV, like the link posted above shows.

This is a good point. By continuing to IV, you really aren't breaking the addictive/drug abusing mentality and it's going to seriously halt your progress in getting clean. The needle in itself is a huge problem for a lot of people and by keeping that habit, you're just inviting relapse.
 
Hmm..I was under the assumption that if you IVd bupe that had naloxone in it then the naloxone was active (inactive if used oral/SL) and it would block. I thought that was the reason they put the naloxone in it was to make it more abuse "proof"..I am not super familiar with it...am I mistaken?
 
The only plus side to IV bupe is a *slightly* faster onset (read: NOT a rush) and better conservation of a small supply. I quit using IV bupe. But then again, the needle part never really enthralled me to the point of an IV fixation, so I didn't find it very hard to stop when the time came. This was off 4 years 100+ mg Morphine/day

Edit: To above poster, no, it's still not active, it's basically just a scare tactic. Some report mild headaches etc. though, therefore it's seemingly at least slightly active to some, but is still out-competed by the bupe.
 
I don't know about it being a "scare tactic". It may not work as well as it is stated. But it would be kind of pointless to add it as a scare tactic. There is scientific reasoning behind whether it works as efficiently as suggested or not.
