another 0.1 percenter? that's me!
how do you know they didnt change the taste?
dude, you are the only one that prefers the taste of suboxone to subutex.
i also like the taste of suboxone. . . it reminds me of tang, & the orange flavor that came in the fun dip packs when i was a kid.
believe it or not, i actually like the taste of the drip when you take it IN. . . seriously. for me, when i used to crush & snort a vicodin, & some of the other hydros, there was this really weird, slightly-sweet chalky taste. . . that i actually LIKED. i always figured it was something in there bad for me, cuz everything that tastes good is bad for you; ask any 4th grader. lol. but seriously, i did like it. not that i'll EVER taste it again, as long as they keep making the suboxone pills -- or at least long enough so that i can stock up & cover the next decade or so, like captain h. am currently trying to taper down to 2 mg a day, trying to take it in .5mg lines IN, but seriously -- part of it is the taste that makes me want to go snort more, even though i KNOW i'm not getting any beneficial effects. . . & to think that just 5 days ago i thought i was a genius cuz i was only taking 8 mg of my 12mg scrip, savin' em up -- but using them sublingual, so there was NO rush, NO euphoria, just TOTAL removal of all cravings. . . & now thanks to you guys, i know i can take it IN, in MUCH smaller doses, get better BA & MUCH better effects. . . i cringe at what i've wasted in the 2 mos i've been on subox, but what's done is done. . . the 40 or so tabs i've got should cover me for 2 months plus, & my doc wants to keep me on for a year, so i SHOULD be able to save up. . . trying to figure out how to get her to up the scrip to 16 mg/day, even though it's gonna cost me starting in early oct (her "samples" have run out & apparently they don't give 'em out anymore to the docs), i can still "pay as you can afford" at the pharm according to you guys. any suggestions on getting her to up the dosage? when i first went in, i had a friend on subox & she gave me some & i self-dosed for a week -- i was taking like a quarter pill a day, but for some reason i lied & told my doc i was taking a pill & a half a day, so she kept me on that dose (12mg) but she was ADAMANT about me trying to take it all in one dose, once a day, once again showing how the docs don't know JACK about how this stuff works -- in order to get an energy boost, like captain H talks about, i have to take it periodically throughout the day. some days i took 4 4mg doses -- SL of course, i bought into the naloxone BS, had NO IDEA you could snort it -- so now i'm just dosing little bits throughout the day, kinda what captain does but IN instead of IV; want to try the IV, but don't wanna go back to the heroin days of 1995, & that's what i would be reminded of, methinks. any case, again: any suggestions about how to get her to up my dose? so that i can stock up, & have like 3-4 years worth of pills before i get "tapered off" at the one year mark next july? or should i shop docs, & find one that will let me maintain indefinitely? would also like to find one who'll let me smoke pot, current doc tests me every visit, & if anything is postive i have to come in every week ($100/visit, for 30 mins of the same questions EVERY TIME, no therapy at all, no REAL investigation of how the bupe is treating me, how i feel, how i treat it, etc. . . seriously this is one of the hugest money scams i've ever seen, this chick makes like $1500 one day a week, that's the only day she's available, i'm sure it frees her up for whatever she does the rest of the week, whether its golf or yachting or something TRULY altruistic, like counseling rich white "athletes" how how to "maximize their potential' or "visualize the [insert ball of choice] going in" or whatever, probly for even MORE than 100 clams per hour)
so anyway, now that i'm "clean" -- no pot, no benzos, no coke, no opiates, no methampetamine, but postive on the bupe -- i'm down to once every three weeks. could eventually go to every 6 weeks, but right now i'm clicking positive for meth (!) cuz i been taking ephedrine for energy, but now that i know about low-dose IN use, i should be able to kick that in. . .oh. . . today!
