Optimizing Suboxone use?

I would love to hear about optimizing my Suboxone use. I am on a 12mg daily regiment and have been for two months.
I have played around with my "carrie doses" a little bit. Taking 2mg nasally waiting then another 2mg about an hour later and then 8mg sublingually about an hour after that. Pretty good but I think there is greater potential in there. I will not inject, just a personal thing. Besides I did read this somewhere here, that injection of anything pill form is not easy and poses more risk than reward.
My suboxone regiment is 4 witnessed doses and 3 take homes per week. This is where I think it gets a bit sticky. 4 days a week I have to take a full 12mg all at once as it is witnessed and then for 3 days I can tinker with timing and strength of dose.
Adherence to the program will get me to full carries in about another 2 months. I have really behaved myself and completely stayed away from any other opiates of any kind since starting the suboxone. Which I must say has not been that difficult for the most part. The nature of the suboxone, from what I understand, makes it difficult to get where I used to go on other types of opiates period. I understand a little about the ceiling effect with the buprenorphine. Also the partial agonist structure of suboxone as a whole. I should mention that I am seeking the optimization of the "buzz" for the euphoria not for pain management. I was hoping that it is perhaps achievable by using timing or a maybe a complimentary opiate that fits into the available receptor puzzle. I have to provide a urine sample once a week which obviously is screened for opiates other than the prescribed medication.

Just spit balling here.... and again I haven't searched the threads for an answer....I hope to have someone read this and maybe give me some pointers based on experience and any other similarities. Honestly I am not even sure if this is what a blog is for.....but when I need to ask or say something where I think I can gain from or will contribute to the "Bluelight District", then I will "Blog it"

Awaiting your wisdom;)
 
4 supervised doses? The easy answer would be drop your dose to what ever it takes to get by. Although higher doses are sometimes better. Just dont start to pick up dope/whatever.

peace.

Isn't the point of suboxone to get off opiates altogether? Why not give sobriety a try for a while?

Oh, and the search engine really is your friend here. Blogs is many things to many people, but it's not WikiAnswers for BL. Other Drugs is where you're wanting to be asking these questions-- after searching.

And in the interest of harm reduction, I'll just say that you've got the right idea in not shooting the pills. Most abusable meds have junk in them to make extraction or injection difficult. It doesn't deter some people, but it really isn't a good idea.
