Bupe suboxone- spit or swallow

[jones-in_J]

So i was wondering and have been for a while- whats the difference between spitting or swallowing whats left in your mouth after a suboxone strip dissolves?

Ive heard rumors that you get less of the naloxone amd all of the bupe if you spit it out which would be better... which ive tried it SEEMS like you get all the bupe and that i could get high again sooner then if i swallowes it (showing that less naloxome was in my system) but its not a staggering difference and could just be in my head

What do you guys think

Naloxone isn't really active orally, so swallowing the leftovers shouldn't make much of a difference. I've both swallowed the Suboxone leftovers and spat them out, and I didn't notice much of a difference between the two. A lot of people swear by spitting it out though.

I think it's all a matter of preference. Personally, I don't really get much left over anymore. When I first started Suboxone, my mouth would be full of saliva after the tabs dissolved, now there's hardly any.

Lol, all this talk of spitting and swallowing makes me feel like I'm on some sex forum or that I've just been trolled, lol.

Your body can't digest the bupe or the naloxone through your gastric system (your stomach) the only way you actually get your medicine is sublingually (under your tongue) it doesn't matter what you do with the remains, spit or swallow makes no difference. Supposedly you do get traces of it through your intestinal system (some slips by) but not enough to actually matter.

I usually swallow it since I usually don't wanna spit a big nasty stream of white gunky wet powder out of my mouth. It tastes nasty, but gotta do what ya gotta do.

There's another mechanism at work here. It's not the naloxone you should be worried about, and I think spit or swallow makes a big difference. What happens is that buprenorphine (B.) is glucuronidated (chemically changed into buprenorphine glucuronidate--B.G.) if it enters the stomach. B.G. is an antagonist, like naloxone. When you swallow, all that leftover B. gets changed into B.G. and the B.G. then puts a lid on the high you WOULD get if you spat the leftovers out.

I always swallowed it, if taken daily you don't get a buzz regardless of how much you take (unless ur daily is like 1mg and you IV 32mg or something like that) so there's no worry about swallowing the stuff killing or limiting the high b/c there isn't a high to start with!

Also, I figured if any Bupe does get left over in my spit, might as well keep that in me, but that's just a mental security blanket my inner druggie likes to have.

Plus ,its the Bupe and NOT the naloxone that blocks other opiates. So if how high you get from a full opiate agonist after swallowed vs spat suboxone is your metric, your actually seeing how much Bupe you get swallowed vs spat, NOT how much naloxone you get.

IMHO, any diff in effects are soooooo negligable (if there even are any!) That having to carefuly spit out that huge glob of saliva isn't worth the trouble
