I started off using suboxone in February of 2013. Two 8 mg strips daily for several weeks, sublingually or rectally. I enjoyed it and felt great. Then I decided to go back to the needle. Luckily I started getting the Roxanne tablets of pure bupe at this point. I cut my dose down to 4 mg IV two to three times a day. Then bumped it up to three to four times a day. This lasted for at least six months, until over the past three months or so I've been back to 2-3 doses of 4mg each daily. Until about the past month, I had the euphoria of a decent high... Not too much and not too little. Now though, it's not really seeming to cut it. I'm not sure where my next step should go. I'm starting to lose my ability to procure a good amount of pure bupe pills, so although I can maintain 4mg twice daily, I can't really do more. I'm curious if my tolerance has gone up, which I'm fairly sure it has or I may just be missing more often. I have very few veins left. It takes me about an hour on average to hit now. Anyway... Does anyone know where I should go next? How can I fix my bupe tolerance? Can I do low dose bupe and get a fix from that? .5mg or so? Or should I raise my initial dose? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I just don't wanna go clean for a couple days to try the low dose bupe if it's not gonna do anything. I'll provide any more information to help you guys out. Thanks in advance.
 
Honestly man, I know exactly where you're at, I've been shooting bupe now for years after quitting heroin 4 years ago and I too am shooting 4mgs, about 6-8 times a day right now. Your tolerance I can almost guarantee has gone up, bupe loses it's "buzz" quickly after you've been taking it for a few weeks or even for less then that. As far as taking more in each shot, it really won't do much IMHO, I've tried injecting a full 8mgs and it basically had no effect, not like if you double a shot of dope or anything. You can take more pills, it does work a bit but with the amount you're on now, it may not do too much anyways. From what I've read, once you get to 3-4, 8mg pills a day, you hit the ceiling effect and at that point, doing more is basically pointless. You could try slowly tapering down then your tolerance will go down, I went from 8mgs a day to 6, then to 4, down to 2 and at 2mgs a day, If I shot 4mgs of bupe, I'd get a nice little buzz for like 6-8 hours or so. I'd really suggest you consider quitting man, I know that's probably not what you're looking to hear but bupe will ruin veins quick as fuck and you had said you don't have many left. Really, bupe isn't worth losing all your veins over, What if you ever want to shoot something better? What if you ever have a medical emergency and the hospital Needs a vein to save your life, that's why I personally won't use my neck or groin. I'm soon about to stop shooting bupe and either plug it or sniff it, I've been shooting it for 4 years and only quit the IV for a short time. Like I said, I really do know where you're coming from and I just really believe that your best bet would be to try to at least cut back, hell, if you take it any other way Mon-Fri then shoot it on Sat and Sun, you're veins will be a lot healthier and you will definitely get more of a buzz too because you won't be use to getting 100% of the drug in your brain like you are now but you can still go the week without being sick.

Btw, I really hope you use a micron filter for those big ass Roxanne subutex pills, (really any pill needs to be micron filtered) Roxanne pills have so much gunk in them and I believe they have talc in them too, really dangerous stuff to IV. Micron filters are way worth the money, especially if you want to continue shooting up, they're one of the best investments I've ever made by far. Good luck with everything man..
