According to the bupe physician who maintains the suboxonetalkzone blog, agonist effects of buprenorphine top out at the equivalent to 30mg oral methadone at 2-4mg/day of buprenorphine. 80mg morphine/day is equianalgesic to only 8mg of methadone/day and the 20µg/hr patches should release 4.8mg buprenorphine/day which should be equivalent to considerably over 8mg methadone or 80mg morphine/day as far as mu-agonism but level of mu-agonism doesn't exactly translate to analgesia so if suboxone is a less efficient analgesic (as I expect it is), those numbers seem accurate.

Also, to be accurate, Purdue suggests patients requiring the equivalent of 30-80mg of morphine/day start with the *10µg/hr* patch and for those using above 80mg to titrate down to the equivalent of 30mg morphine/day before switching and just that those who required over 80mg morphine/day MAY not find the 20µg/hr bupe patch to provide sufficient analgesia.

If you are going to make claims, C.H, try doing some research first and not just commenting as if your opinions or expectations are fact.
 
I am fucking loving A Man Without a Country: A Memoir OF Life In George Bush's America written by Kurt Vonnegut, published in 2005 (it's a compilation of very short essays discussing a wide array of topics from writing to humor, to modern day American society, and Politics). He was the man, suck he suffered such an unfortunate tragedy leading to his death, though I'd imagine he'd be happy knowing how and when if died considering his views on how doomed humans/earth is.

He's one of my favorite Authors with Aldous Huxley being another favorite whose beliefs just speak to me. I'll say Kurt's writing is much easier to comprehend than Aldous whose work can become a harder read. Not that I don't enjoy reading both easier or harder pieces of work created by Aldous and Kurt.

You should read "Better than Sex" by Hunter S Thompson.
It's basically about the Clinton administration, it's amazing how he "predicts" events applying to Clinton months before they actually happened.
Plus his style of writing is unmatched IMO.

On a side note, I managed to get my doctor to swop my oxazepam(15mg TID) for diazepam (5mg TID) and it was surprisingly easy too.
OMG, now this is a fucking benzo. Makes oxazepam seem like placebo. It's been decades since I had diazepam. Forgot about its pedigree.
I don't even need to use it 3 times a day either, so it's a "win win" situation.

Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron is my favorite short story- by far..
and gets funnier and more truthful w/each reading.

diazepam is my bff. <3 i promote it's use (by me) always.
 
If anyone needs an awesome TV show to start watching (1 season completed and season 2 underway), check out this showtime original series, Homeland. It is pretty damn awesome. It has Damian Lewis as one of the main stars of the show, who played Dick Winters in Band Of Brothers and did an amazing job.
 
Another show I just got into is Game of Thrones on HBO.

There are a few seasons out do you won't have to wait a while to catch the next episode.

It's set in mid evil times and it has a well written story line.

Boardwalk empire and Sons of Anarchy are two of my favourite at the moment. The new Dexter is insane too.
 
I got bored of SOA and quit in the middle of season 2. I definitely have to check out Boardwalk Empire, though, seen a few episodes and it looks sick as fuck. I'm glad Steve Buscemi finally got a lead role on a show of thid caliber. The few episodes I watched were dope, on the same level of The Wire in terms of scope and production quality.

So I'm considering buying poppy seeds.... unwashed... from a random Indian, Hungarian, or Ukranian market around the way, but I'm very hesitant about this whole idea. I'm completely out of Kratom, and have no pain relief at the moment. :( Pain and depression can make you do desperate shit, I just don't want to get hooked on the super-potent PPT/PST, especially since it lasts so long, making physical dependence build a lot quicker.

So, I'm having a bit of an internal conflict... fuck the poppy seeds, and just leave them alone? Try the opium tea occasionally? We all know how that goes... "just once a week, that's my limit...." heh 8(

Hell yeah, Token, diazepam FTMFW... my first benzo and I still appreciate it 2 years later. Temazepam's amazing as well, but not as versatile for daytime anxiety as the subtle, smooth diazepam :) "rebound anxiety? pffftt... we don't need no stinking rebound anxiety!

Pass that diazepam this way, token, I'm almost out. :\
 
I dunno man, temazepam is pretty legit. I'd have to say that diazepam is a better "overall" benzodiazepine. But then again, I'd prefer clonazepam.

Also, I changed the thread title. Deal with it kids. Smoke anywhere you like (except Los Angeles)
 
Wow, I just got a call from that last person I'd expect. It was a call from someone who works at a chemical manufacturing company for essentially a relatively quick phone interview for a position opening up. The position being a lab rat doing quality chemistry. It was a exciting phone call, but unfortunately being that it wasn't something I was expecting, I had just shot up h probably not to long before receiving that call and been awake for a little more than 24 hours. The dose was higher than the one I took a few hours before my interview last week, so it was a bit frustrating not being able to articulate as well as I normally do with interviews. I could have dominated the basic interview questions if I wasn't in the current mental state that I am, potentially greatly increasing my odds for being hired, which is unfortunate. Oh well, even with some of my poorly formed sentences when answering question pertaining to chemistry, notably from years ago needing to be recalled (skills and knowledge gained through out my university studies). I have to send them some more info ASAP (tonight), so I'll get a second chance to show the skills/knowledge needed to at least quickly learn some of the functions of the position, if not already showing the capability to perform the daily tasks and functions needed for the position.

Pretty excited about the prospect of maybe landing this job. I much rather be hired by this company than the pharmacy that is considering me for employment. It will be a step in the right direction in my work life - finding a job that allow me to use my intelligence rather than continuing to perform tasks that require little to no use of it at all e.g. dishwasher, grocery store specialty clerk, cashier, etc. Also this will potentially help me achieve an even greater step in right direction in my career, and beef up my resume to help with finding future jobs when I have completed my BS in chemistry or gain enough experience to move my career in up the vast chemistry field.

hehe, I really hope I can get this job. It'll definitely help prevent people in my family from consciously or unconsciously interacting with me as if I was a failure or incapable of achieving academic success in comparison to everyone else within my family
 
on the 'phets, cloudy;) i only assume because when i see large paragraphs from you th ere's usually a mention on amphets in the DC threads:)

just shot up some morphine for the first time in around 4-5 days and am pretty bomdiggity high with a smidgen of valium thrown in and my morning coffee as i didn't get to brew one before i left to see the doc. everything is stocked up, most importantly 180 x 30/500mg codeine/apap tabs so i can easily take a break from the steel and save some of my (100mg) mscontins along the way before i start lowering my dose in coming weeks to a month or two from now.

it's overcast and looking like it may rain at some point throughout the day so is perfect weather for relaxing as such. and even though i got an exceptionally huge 1 and a half hours sleep last night i'm feeling not so bad afterall.

how's everyone else doing? any plans this week? i'm actually looking forward to work this weekend. bring home some more fat stacks.
 
I had some amphetamine earlier today, but nothing since probably 11 am or so. I took a shot of heroin around 4:10 pm as the sole drug I taken this late afternoon. I'm gonna try to not dose any amphetamine tomorrow at all, and then if that works at well extend that to a few more days. I've been taking smaller doses of amphetamine salts as well as dosing a lot less frequently, instead of my not so healthy consumption seen for about a year, starting around January 2011. I feel good about this, especially since I'm not a fan of the amphetamine high even though my use may seem to represent the contrary, i.e. aspects of my use can be used to say I actually enjoy them.

The job I interviewed for on the phone for this evening really excites me. When I was still in college with the prospect of graduating still existing, I'd always look forward to working in a chemistry lab a part of my career goals. I knew a chemistry BS would put me in to a lab with a relative ease, particularly comparing that to my current situation with only three years under my belt with no degree. I'd feel like the chemistry/other sciences course I spent countless hours of my life engaged in didn't just go to waste, and actually the reason for me to potentially find my way in to a career in chemistry.
