strange encounters with suboxone/subutex

[Shady Kaity]

I'm not sure if its only mental, or perhaps I just don't tolerate suboxone or subutex well, but when I take it, I usually do get nauseous. But for some reason If i get upset about something or other (such as an argument with the boyfriend or a friend), I vomit...and nothing I take helps my nausea, except for having sexual encounters...Is that just because its refocusing my mind? Is this all mental, or does my body just not handle this drug well?

What is your opiate tolerance level?

My (female) ex couldn't take ANY subs when I met her (pretty much guaranteed vomiting for a few hours and general nausea / dysphora), after we broke up (and we each now had a 60-90mg/day tolerance to oxycodone), she tapered off opiates just fine using subs (in LOW doses, 1mg tops I would imagine, I did at least teach her how to use them properly).

i usually only take between 1-2 mgs if that...Ive never done heroin before...I used to take oxy in 40mgs at a time and be fine..haven't really messed with opiates in over a year other than suboxone...but i take it once or twice a week and always experience the same thing...its very strange lol

You're taking too much, 1mg bupe = 32mg oxycodone.

Take .25-.5mg, it'll be more effective.

Agreed, buprenorphine is an extremely potent opioid in the grand scheme of things. You are probably taking too much.

When I take too much (2+mg, but 1.5 and less is fine if I'm in the mood or it's appropriate given my present usage of other things), I feel numb and dysphoric. I haven't taken enough to ruin a day / vomit everywhere, but I've always been sensible about my dosing.

oh wow didnt realize the equivalent was that strong and potent...thanks guys =]

Yeah it's a bit absurd in my opinion, but given it's advertised use, makes sense.

Best of luck!
