IV Suboxone and strange reaction

Hello.
Ive been using suboxone now for about a year. I used to let pieces of the strips dissolve in my nose and that worked out just fine, very successful. However, my needle fetish came with a vengence and I began using sub exclusively IV. Now, Id done this before occasionally and never had an issue (that I recall).

Lately, for the past several months I have been breaking out in what looks to be bites, somerimes almost like hives. The odd thing is that they appear at and around the injection site. I currently have these bites on both arms, all over my hands and on both feet. The bites appeared within hours of injecting the sub. I have been keeping track and I KNOW the Iv sub and vitrs/breaking out are related.

Question: has anyone else had this experience? Or, what could this be... Why is this happening? An allergic reaction? Are insects (say... Bedbugs, any kind of bug...) drawn to the injection site? I am teying topical benedryl fot the itch, but it's not doing much. This is craaaaazy!

Thanks, folks;) hope I dont wake up with bites near this evenings injection site :-S
 
That used to happen to me when i would iv Oxycontin 80,s and if i had crappy heroin or missed it would happen. have you been accidentally shooting into an arteries instead of a vein? what color is the blood when you draw back? i also used to shoot subutex and would occasiaonally have the exact same thing happen to me
 
Im fairly certain its not due to shooting in arteries. Ive accidentally done it before and read here on BL the IV megathread/s to make sure Im hitting veins, that thee is no pulse where im shooting. I woke up this morning with no bites near injection site, but damn the bites I do have are itchy as FUCK. I plugged todays midday dose, shot the morning dose.

I really want some benedryl to see if that helps.

C'mon fellow BL.ers... Anyone else have this reaction? Id go to the Dr but im using sub in secret...
