Hey I'm curious as to how long Buprenorphine lasts for you guys with each ROA you've tried. Please state: ROA, usual dose (so I can compare the dosage you need with each ROA), duration of main effects (if you're a lower tolerance or get high from Bupe in any way, then I mean the high/euphoria you get itself here - if you have a higher tolerance I mean how long does it keep you fully 100% "well" and not wanting to redose), duration of total effects until you can no longer feel the Bupe at all (or in the case of tolerant individuals, go into withdrawals).
I'm most interested to hear about: Snorted, Plugged, IV (but please include your sublingual info for comparison's sake)
I've taken Bupe sublingually, I've snorted it, I've plugged it, I've IVed it (please don't IV Bupe unless you have Buprenex or some other solution meant for IV/IM injections - REALLY bad idea) but I still can't figure out just how long it lasts with each ROA for me really, because for the most part since Bupe has never caused any raise in tolerance for me (in fact it drops my tolerance even with daily use and I've used it to taper from heavy habits a bunch) I've almost always taken it for at least a few days in a row, often dosing before the prior dose has worn off etc.
That said, I think I can say rough durations for me for sublingual, and dosage for the rest:
ROA - Sublingual
Usual Dose - ~3mg+
Main effects (euphoria at low tolerance/sedation or feeling 100% "well" at high tolerance) - 14-20 hours (dose dependent)
Total effects (time from dosing to no noticeable effects or withdrawals) - 22-48 hours (dose and very much tolerance dependent)
ROA - Snorted
Usual Dose - ~2mg+
ROA - Plugged
Usual Dose - ~1.5mg+
ROA - IV
Usual Dose - ~0.5mg+
(This is going by the times I've had a higher than average but not *crazy* high tolerance - please don't attempt these dosages if you have a low tolerance, IV in particular, you'd be surprised how strong IV can be, my first time IVing I was taking 2-3mg sublingual at the time and a mere < 0.25mg gave me a rush similar to low dose IV morphine)
Anyway if you respond, please list times for all the ROAs you've tried - the main reason I'm asking this is half-lives don't really reflect on how long people actually feel the effects necessarily and I'd like to work out something I've rarely seen mentioned here - people often use other ROAs over sublingual because the dosage required is lower, but sometimes that can mean a significantly shorter duration, and I'm trying to figure out which ROA actually works out the least dose/hour ratio and conserves the most. A lot of people would jump to the conclusion of IV pretty quick but my limited experience with Bupe IV is that it's VERY short lasting compared to sublingual, despite the much smaller dosage required, and I kinda feel like you might actually end up using more if you're one of the people who redose every time you don't feel the full effects or feel the slightest discomfort.
