Bupe SUBOXONE: Getting High On It.

[bkuk8888]

Hello all-

Situation: I am/was addicted to percs...90-150mg per day habit for about 8 months. I recently got prescribed to Suboxone for withdrawals/to get off pills. I am supposed to take two 8mg tabs per day..I feel a very slight 'high' when I take them ( I take between 2mg and 4mg per ingestion). My doc told me 16 is the highest I can take and still 'Feel the effects'.

Question: I know people that don't abuse opiates can get high off Suboxone so my question is how long will I have to go without suboxone until I feel more of a high when I take it? Will I still feel the slight 'high' if I continue to take it for weeks to come? What if I take a higher dose like 24mg all at once?

Thank you and goodnight.

It doesn't matter if you take a higher dose, the only thing that happens then is more sideeffects and stronger affinity to the receptors but no more "euphoria".

I would say you want to take a break for atleast a month before you can get "slightly" high. This is very individual though, I who have abused heavy opioids for a long time can be clean for 6months and maybe get a little buzzed if I one day take Subs but that feeling is gone the next day.

The only effect that remains after long time use is a slight "mood stabilizing" effect for some patients.

I couldn't give a fuck about a fiend.

Inappropriate, but made me laugh out loud.

Your quest of getting high on suboxone will be futile at best. Since you have a pre-existing opiate tolerance/habit you will not be able to get any sort of quality high out of suboxone. I suggest using them for what they are for. Try and get off of them for a long while; then if you decided to indulge again it will be much more enjoyable.. You don't want to catch another habit, though.

We have a recreational buprenorphine thread you can post in.

Since you're in ORT, I would taper down on Suboxone until you don't feel high but just normal.
