I did. I was really intrigued when he brought it up. I said, "Can I try that?" And he just shook his head no, then mentioned the prices. I swear my eyes got so big when he told me how much one patch cost that I probably looked like a cartoon character lol. I'll have to tell him during my next visit about my new job, I think he's hesitant to write the script because he knew there was no way in hell I'd be able to afford it before. But... then again, I highly doubt my pharmacy would have it anyway; they never even have the films in stock when I try to pick up a new script.
On a different note. Yesterday I did an extraction method to get the naloxone and fillers out of an 8mg Suboxone pill, to try to get the analgesic properties of bupe without the naloxone getting in the way. And it worked! It's potent as shit, so I have to take small amounts, but literally the only pain I can feel now is in my jaw, and even that is hardly noticeable. And trust me, I am in a shitload of pain - a concussion on top of a concussion, ruptured eardrum, bruises and abrasions all over the place, a bunch of lumps on my head, entire body is sore, etc. Just wanted to throw it out there that there ARE ways to manage copious amounts of pain while you're on Suboxone. I tried two Percocet at first and it didn't work. I tried doubling my Suboxone dosage and it didn't work. Extracting the bupe and then taking it pure - that did work. Even if the whole process took an entire day.
But with that being said, please don't try extracting bupe from Suboxone unless you absolutely know what you are doing 100%. And if you do - be careful, take it slow. That shit is EXTREMELY potent in pure form, no joke. You really only need less than a centimeter of a line to get full analgesic effects, and I actually have a tolerance. God knows what railing an entire pill would do. Just... yeah, don't do it. This seems like something to do only in emergencies, when you really can't handle the pain and nothing else will work because of the stupid Naloxone... at least for me anyway. There is recreational value in it (which is why I'm not saying how I did it), but it would be way too easy to overdose on.
