Bupe redosing (different kind of question than most ask)

So I took 4.25-4.5 mg of bupe (the bigger half of an N8) about 3 and a half hours ago and was wondering if I could possbly take another 2 mg later on in the day and receive more PAIN RELIEF? If so how long should I wait until I take the additional 2 mg?
 
I would try slowly adding more, like 0.5mg at a time, instead of dose dumping another 2mg, I think your chances are higher for analgesia with slower dose titration.
 
So I probably fucked up by dumping 4mgs at the boot, huh?

When would you advise taking the next dose and how long between doses?

Also, would insufflation be better than SL with the pills? It's pretty much impossible to try and keep the resultant solution of bupe and saliva under your tongue for a decent amount of time...
 
Why is it pretty much impossible to keep it under your tongue?

Plug it?
 
I never recommend sniffing suboxone for maintenance, but since you are using it for pain releif and are only looking to do it a few times then I would give it a try. Do .5mg at a time like tricomb said. I only find redosing at doses above 4mg to be effective on the first 3 days of using suboxone. After that it doesn't make any difference for me unless I am at lower doses.
 
Hey doug, sorry I was taking a shower.

Try intranasal definitely if you have the tablets, which you obviously do. Have you ruled out the rectal ROA? You can get by on lower amounts using rectal, but intranasal is a step up from SL in terms of BA, about a 20% increase in BA, but you have to consider the damage to your epithelial membranes and the consequences of long-term inhalation of the pills inactive ingredients.
 
So Rectal ROA is as good or better than insufflation of Bupe?? Id be willing to try it if it is, considering I HATE the taste and effects of sniffing it (coughing up ornage phlegm balls etc..)

I'm trying to quit IV'ing my bupe dose which is hard considering I have access to equipment to more or less make my own sterile ampules... (0.22 and 0.1 um filters, sterile/nuclease free water, sterile containers, sterilizing chemicals, a ventilated tissue culture hood and other odds and ends)[im a biochemist]

I've noticed its much easier to taper with insufflation/SL ROAs so if plugging has a similar BA to insufflation I'd like to give it a whirl...
