I used most of the pills within the first part of the week and the last dose was yesterday being 4mg (with an additional 4mg the night before).

Today I felt slight withdrawl symptoms like bad diareeah...so lets assume the person in question is already going through minor withdrawls, will taking codeine or oxy work?

I just tried some codeine and soma and Im feeling really nice but Im wondering if thats just the soma, 180mg codeine and 2 tabs soma

P.S. i know its a partial blocker, but on methadone (full blocker) if your dose is low enough or you dont take it for a day, additional opiates you use actually become stronger as in the methadone makes them stronger (while it's wearing off in small/under 30mg-40mg doses). I figure the same goes for bupe (although 40mg a week is a lot, it was snorted so the half life should be shorter like with oxy)
 
Basically I'm feeling an energetic/dreamy high, which I doubt is from the Soma. Feels more opiate-ish than soma-ish.

p.s. Sorry for double posting
 
You railed 40mg of suboxone in 7 days, with the last dose being 4mg yesterday?

I would say absolutely not. But you said you feel in w/d already, so maybe.

But from where i'm standing no you cannot get high after taking 5 subs up the nose all week.
 
If you're actually in acute withdrawal... then yes it should work. But.. 40mg's of bupe in 7 days is a lot of build up. It's half life is 24 hours so.. all of those bupe doses piling up on top of each other makes it seem unlikely you would get high, especially if your last dose was only yesterday.
 
So it sounds like you've been taking around 5-6 mg of Bupe (insufflated) within the past week.

Like Mr.Scagnattie said, buprenorphine will accumulate in your system due to its long half life.

Check out this graph:

Notice how allthough the same dose (16mg) is taken everyday, it keeps building up on itself, until it levels out at day 12, at which point there is more than 2x the daily dosage accumulated in that persons system.

According to the graph (and my math-be warned :\...), if you took on average 5-6mg everyday (I realize that you took most of the Bupe during the first part of the week, but this is to simplify things), you should have an accumulated level of buprenorphine equal to about 14mg. At a dose that high (especially considering that you have been using it through insufflation, a ROA that increases the BioAvailibility by 20% compared to the sublingual ROA), you will almost certainly NOT be able to feel the effects of oxycodone, and certainly not codeine. Buprenorphine is more potent mg/mg than either of these drugs in general, and it also has a much higher affinity to the Mu opiate receptor site. When I was on suboxone, at a similar dosage, I would usually have to INJECT heroin intravenously in order to feel any effects from the dope at all. Don't get me wrong, I am not at all suggesting you do that, I am only trying to stress to you that if you're looking to feel any positive effects from oxy or codeine (forget about codeine in fact, just forget about it), you're going to be dissapointed.

Yes, when you're on a non blocking dosage of both bupe and methadone, both drugs can potentially increase the effects of weaker, shorter acting agonists. However, more often than not, unless the other drug is taken in a very high dosage, the fact that it is so much weaker than these maintenance drugs is usually going to make them pretty pointless as well.
