Shooting Subs to Conserve

Okay, so here's my problem. I have 3 subs left, but 6 days til I get a new script. I take 1 a day, they're the strips, not the tabs. I want to know if it's possible to shoot half of one a day until I can get the script refilled. Will that work? I know it increases the bioavailability quite a bit, which is the basis of this question. I looked around and couldn't find anyone asking this question, so sorry if this is a repost. I'm not asking if it's safe to shoot the strips. I'm sure it's probably not great for you. But I've done it before and I know it's possible. I just want to know my best possible options for stretching these out. I mean worse comes to worse I'll just continue taking one a day and go 3 days without. Which won't be too great, but I also won't get that sick either. So any info/suggestions anyone might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help anyone has to offer.
 
shooting subs is generally a bad idea. It can cause major health problems if you miss. I wouldn't recommend it. Are you taking them to avoid withdrawal or are you trying to get high?

If you are avoiding withdrawal you don't need the entire dose. The way subs are prescribed is a joke. The truth is subs are a terrible way to kick opiates, they do stop withdrawal symptoms but they have a ridiculous half life and long term use ends up screwing the user more than the doctor will have you believe.

I was prescribed 20mg a day when I was in the program years ago, lucky I didn't stick to it because I learned the truth.

Seriously, 1/4 of a dose should be enough to stop withdrawal syptoms. But your best bet is to just quit that game before you spend too much time and money on a false solution to opiate addiction.
 
you can easily shoot; although, you really have NO NEED to shoot.

not sure how familiar you are w/ the drug but taking HALF a strip a day will be more than enough to get you through those 6 days.
 
I've already been on the subs for almost 2 years, and I honestly don't see myself stopping in the near future. I take them so I don't get sick. I like opiates way too much to try and kick them entirely. They're my back up plan for when I can't get H. Taking half a strip a day is probably my best bet though. I think I'll try that. It's just tough when you're use to taking one a day.
 
I take 16/MG/day and then there are days where ill just take 8MG or even 4MG if I do not have any extra or may have forgotten the pill. happens often but never a real problem when it comes to the dosing itself. you really do not have any worries, man. it happens to us all and we're always able to get by without any worries.
 
So I tried shooting some of a sub to test the viability of this idea. I only did a small amount, probably around 1 mg. I was very cautious because the last time I shot some of a sub, I must of had a small amount of H in my system and I caught the effect of that nalaxone. Which I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced, but it's like going through a weeks worth of dope sickness in the course of 15 minutes, and getting the worst of all the symptoms. But this time I was fine. Interestingly enough I caught a small rush, and it does feel as though I took a half of a strip orally. I don't think this is worth doing all the time. I know I wouldn't. But if you want to stretch them out, this seems to be a feasible option. Although I feel for the situation I'm in, my best bet is to just cut my dose in half and try to stretch it out that way. The odd thing is even though I injected it, I still got the taste of that orange in the back of my mouth. I guess there's no way of avoiding that, idk if it was just in my head or what. But I really hate the Tang-like taste of subs. Even saying it taste like Tang is a disservice to Tang itself.
 
With shooting subs you need less mg, but they also wear off much faster.

As others said, in your situation, your best bet is take half a strip. You won't need a full strip to stay out of wd.
