Bupe Suboxone/Buprenorphine Mega Thread v. 19

For now I am on 4 mg of suboxone. I found that when I was on smaller dose I would crave and cave. I am on day 9 off of h and percs, and I am beginning to feel a little accomplishment, I don't feel like I am at the dark, very dark spot for now, less feeling of despair, when can't get a day. Yes I have found my appetite has picked up, I enjoy eating now, I never cared if I ate or not, I used to eat to live only. Now I cook, I feel better, have put on little weight but I am light weight though. Suboxone has definitely made me hungrier. I am challenged every day between being my mothers' caretaker and my daughter who had lymes meningitis at the beginning of her pregnancy, but as long as I stay sober, it won't get any worse. I am now starting to work on the why's of my addiction, suboxone has let me feel ready to do that. Bono
 
Any interest in ALKS-5461 in this thread? An anti-depressant containing buprenorphine and a new drug similar to naloxone. Basically Suboxone for depression. Clinical trials showed good results, phase III almost done, and it's meant to be coming out early this year.
 
Yes very interested! Suboxone is the only med that has done me well, was on mood stabilizers and ssri's, with no avail, but I am positive and productive now, thanx will research this bono
 
I have actually made it to double digits Day 10 clean off crap, haven't been able to get a day, but with suboxone and working the program, neat. Went to lab to get bloodwork done, ouch, my arms are gonna be a new skin tone, to be purple. Took 2 sticks when tech decided use butterfly, never could get iv thing down, all for the best, now wait for results, anxiously, I never would have accomplished this task, using, good day to all! Bono
 
Very nice Bono, keep it up. Its great to hear that you've not given in and are still surging forward! Damn right! I'm trying to figure out if I dose 4-6 mg at once if I will catch a buzz. I know, not the right thought process here for being clean, but I'm aware of this and since this is a suboxone thread, maybe I can get some legit answers.
Currently I'm at 2 mg in the AM and 2 mg in the PM, so 4 mg total, I'm wondering if I save my evening doses for a couple days, which puts me at dosing 2 mg the entire day and after 2 or 3 days, will I be able to take say 6 mg all at ONCE for a buzz? I currently snort and sublingual my pills since they are the 2 mg ones it makes for easy snorting and line dividing ;) also, should I snort or sublingually dose the 6 mgs when I attempt to get high?
I don't need to hear any angry things, I used to get high off the strips back in the day, 2 mg would set me right for a day and a half. I know its possible, but I would like to know if this scenario is. Also I've been on sub maintenance twice before and had it get me high and then not and then that little "glow", then tapered off at a christian lock down rehab and 3 days after nothing found a packaged strip untouched on the sidewalk when we went for our daily walk (miracle) and 1 mg fucking lifted me oh so high!!
 
I should say to be honest, I have been craving an opiate lately and if I had money, then I would get oxy. However that is not possible for me, so I'm looking into my own suboxone stash. I've read all day today about the alcoholic solution with sublingual dosing, at the moment I don't have liquor or even Listerene in the house. I hate when I start to get desperate like this, but if I can find a dosing routine to give me a feel off the subs, I'll be sastifed, for a while. The struggle is real!
 
Hang in there, Opie. Yup the same here, what a struggle this is. Even at 4mg my mind races constantly, and crave too. I feel like I am fighting with myself. Last year I read and experimented with all the tricks with suboxone except iv, won't go there, but I came to conclusion that I want this, I want it the proper way, I want to be clean, my way never worked, so now I figure I will stick with following directions, and go second to second, minute by minute for today anyhow bono
 
Opie I also wanted to say I have read all the threads and from what I gathered with all the different tricks most people usually stated that they eventually went back to taking suboxone the way it was originally prescribed, including myself. Just my 2 cents, best to ya, keep posting and keep well bono
 
I'm currently chasing subs through a clinic I've found and about to call. I'm a chronic pain sufferer who desperately wants off his 300+mg per day habit. I just hope my pain is managed but it'll be better than forking out the money to buy off the street so to speak. Wishing myself and all you others the best of luck!
 
SK how is the searching going? Life is all over charts for me, I have new insurance so I too have find a doctor, spent yesterday on phone, I literally called every doc in network and got message machines, omfg, not 1 call back yet! I have suboxone left if I need taper but I don't want that, I need maintainence, cause I know where my mind goes without this, I do not want to use, I need stay on this path, another day of ups and downs.
 
^Well I have an initial consultation in about 14hrs from now and I am looking forward to it. Not sure when I'll have some bupe under my tongue but I would like it next monday (3 days from now) cos at this rate i'll be kicking hard by monday morning, so here's to wishful thinking.

Hope you guys & Gals are doing well!
 
Happy for you SKR!! Yesterday when I was on phone the person helping me said to go to suboxone.com for a coupon, just small fyi, for when you get script, anyhows, day 12, working on this journey again today. I must say though I'd rather be on phone doing this than other deals. Funny how since I told friends, or so called, I was getting clean, my phone literally hasn't rang for 12 days, oh well...
 
Keep at it fellow subbers! I lowered my dose to 2 mg and am saving my evening 2 mg tabs for when I get tapered. Like I said before, insurance only covers 6 months total and I'm at 4 months currently. I give up on chasing a sub high! I DO get a little elevated mood when taking it though, which is nice. Man, I wish subs were easier to get on! Methadone is like a walk in drug dispensary, you could have no addiction and walk out on methadone. Suboxone, which is safer, is fucking ridiculous to get on. Gotta shell out tons of CASH and then have insurance, then a doctor to write it, then a pharmacy that has it. Damn! I give you guys a round of applause for sticking with it ;)
 
Kuddo's to you too Opi!! I do think I get mood lift too but I figured that was just from not doing other stuff, hard to tell. Well I decided with or without insurance I am staying on suboxone whether out of pocket or not, I know the saying well you bought drugs, blah blah blah, but I can't stay clean without them. I have quite a history, I was born addicted to heroin, I am adopted, yes, I genetically have this disease, , I was the reason suboxone was invented, kidding aside, I can't get a day otherwise, so I will do what I must to stay clean, for today!!
 
So wtf, could Lyrica work this well? I would normally feel plenty of WD symptoms at say the 16-18hr mark between oxy doses. I've waited 25hrs since my last dose and I'm well enough to be writing this without having to punch a wall (restless hands/arms) or kick the fuck out of something. I was tearing, non stop yawning last night and I could feel that vibrating feeling in my extremities which usually precedes restless limbs, but once the 900mgs of lyrica started kicking in I was right as rain (in pain but that's the usual).

I'm supposed to take my first sub dose in an hr or two and I don't feel as sick as I normally would even after having taken an evening dose the night before (oxy). The only difference is the amount of lyrica. I must admit when I feel sick 16hrs after my last dose that's always when I've taken only 150-300mgs of Lyrica the night before. I just cant believe it can mask or resolve WD symptoms this well!

If it does then all you poor folks facing WD should try your hardest to get prescribed Lyrica - they practically give it away to me (specialists have done cos Pfizer ply them with it) but that's cos I'm scripted oxy I think, it's the much lesser of two evils I suppose.

I've found the best Dr/clinic ever also, I'm terrified (I'm a wimp these days) of precipitated withdrawal though. Better get ready to go to the clinic.....I'll be sure to update and brag about my sub Dr...no urine analysis, confidential prescription of subs and anything else he prescribes, no judgment - this Dr has found his calling and he seems to know it, very kind an empathetic soul - the way maintenance Dr's should be......take care.
 
Woohoo! No PWD even though I was still sort of comfortable (Thanks to the wonder drug Lyrica), 2mg wafer sublingually then 30mins later (to be sure of no precipitated withdrawal) another 4mg. They close tomorrow (Sunday) so I get 12mgs to take home for tomorrows dosing and then I'm in there each morning for my cure. I'm going away on holiday in 3 weeks time and I'm assured I'll be on take homes with a once per month visit by then!!!!!

So, I was a 200-400mg daily user of oxycodone and so far 6mgs has certainly made me feel how I would after taking a morning dose which is usually 110-140mgs. When I say I feel the same, for those who look at my oxy dose, that dose had absolutely no feeling apart from getting well and holding me until evening dose (Though I'm not in withdrawal between my oxy doses).

Maintenance felt like and is the right decision for me at this point in time, considering 300mgs gave me no high and not much analgesia anymore, there was just no benefit to stay on the stuff. And instead of $900 dollars a month it's now a $160 per month opi habit which will not even be noticed in regards to the bank account. Stoked!!!
 
Good going SKR. Glad it is working out. I just got home from hospital since early this morning, I watched my mom have 2 mini strokes and a seizure, had call 911, they were great through this, she will be in hospital awhile, but I did not go off deep end, going strong with day 13. My nerves got the best of me though, in front of my boys I lost it with security, he wouldn't let me go back with my mom, I was livid, called him a fat, fng rent a want to be cop, and if my mom passed and I wasn't there I'd come after him, boy, did I melt down, anyway, thank God I am clean for the time being bono
 
Thanks Bono. And that is an absolute carbon copy of what I would have done if it had been my mom, even down to the "rent a cop" insult, fake badge maggots they are (Mostly).

And well done on staying strong, if that didn't get the better of you then not much else will. If you get through it you can draw on this experience if your resolve is tested again in the future. Take care.
 
I have heard of people shooting Suboxone sublingual strips. In the past I tried shooting 1mg and thought I was going to die it wasn't PW But I couldn't breath I got a got flash and my heart pounded in my chest. How can they be shot sucessfully and has anyone else experienced this? I know it wasn't PW as I had been taking subs for a few months after H use. Please any advice or personal expeiences I'm trying to learn all I can about what happened to me.
 
Out of curiosity what does of H you could take to just feel normal - no high, no mood lift as such but just normal/comfortable? Same questions but now apply that to suboxone dose?

The only time I noticed my heart pounding is I needed my dose, or if I had IV'd stimulants. Please humour me with my nosey questions, I am genuinely interested.
