oh and your sub answer is 24-36 on 4mgs from the last dose.
Has anyone here successfully tapered off suboxone to live a life of total abstinence? I'm interested to hear your stories. What other treatments did you use as well? (counselling / 12 steps / naltrexone?)
Edit: Found this as far as an IV guide without micron filter.. seems as good as any I guess:

IVing 8mgs is safe and the only way to go.
Are you saying you're still on buprenorphine?
As stated many many times previously, wait until you are in W/D. No one can give you a time that would be accurate.- How long do I need to abstain from Suboxone in order to feel the full effects of the Dilaudid and avoid any negative effects from the naloxone?
Always start small. 2mg IV should give you a better idea of how to dose. If two doesn't get ya where you want to be, don't worry, dilaudid wears off quick. You'll be able to increase dose slowly.- Given what my tolerance would be at from the bupe, what dose should I initially try of the Dilaudid (either intranasal or IV)? I was thinking 2mg IV or 4mg nasal.
The only safer way to do this is with a micron filter. There are a few ways out there, and on this site, that claim to be safer, but putting a pill through a cotton filter, no matter how many times, will still not get out all the particles that are harmful to your heart, lungs, and vascular system. For water, try to get sterile water from the pharmacy. If that's too much, or you can't manage it, use distilled water. Tap water should be a last resort. Remember to keep the water sterile, don't dip the needle back into your fresh water to clean the rig.- Where can I find a harm-reduction guide for IV'ing the dilaudid pills? I understand the associated risks and would like to promise to use a micron filter, but I would like to know what the second-best alternative is also. One (probably stupid) question I had is what kind of water I should use... my tap water is kind of nasty.
Yes, when you referred to BMT i figured we were talking about maintenance and not a taper. I'm pretty sure that guy didn't mention a taper either.
IV 8mg of hydromorphone is a fair bit.
I did 2mg IV after being on 2-3mg subutex for a year and got a rush.
isn't that high??
For water, try to get sterile water
I have been a heroin user, injecting between 5 and 10 bags a day for 5 years now, its time to stop. So i got the subutex, alzams for anxiety, z-dorm sleeping tabs. no just for a final bit of fun i thought of injecting a dose of the subutex, any advice on doing so safely please ;p

Well until you're completely off of the drug, that might explain why you don't feel WD symptoms.
