The Mega-Merged Buprenorphine Thread!

This is VERY true! Too much bupe = DAYS (3-4) of constant throwing up, fever, and hell! So whatever you do make sure you take the least amount you have to take without getting drowsy.

holy crap.... i always told my bupe-prescribed friend that whenever (back in days of lower tolerance) i would take around 8mg, i would get so high and spend the entire next day puking... pretty much once every 45 minutes or so pretty regularly.


made me never want to take it again, but now that im an IV heroin vet.... bring it on!!


im just so surprised other people had similiar reactions to bupe.... that stuff made me and all my old friends sick for days afterwards!!!
 
Can anyone give me a better suggestion for a dose, my old dose was 45mg of oxycodone spread out into 6 doses of 7.5mg a day total of 45mg a day for 3 years or so. Can anyone use that info and give me a suggesion on how to take my suboxone also can I quater the pills they are 8mg , seems like a bit much to do all at once considering 2mg at once I feel it quite well. Thanks in advacne!
 
Of course you can quarter the pills, they are a bit crumbley and I find its easier done by hand than with a pill cutter for that reason. Or powderize and divide into equal amounts, Or ask you doc to write a smaller script for 2mg pills...

How long are you planing on staying on bupe?
 
I am not sure about the duration , he told me its up to me , I think I want to keep it a short duration maybe less than a month. I am not sure what seems to have the most success? Thanks again
 
I've been on suboxone for 10 months now I had a 180mg oxy a day habit and a heroin habit and they started me off with 10mg of suboxone a day. I think that is way to much for you.
 
L2G: you should play with the dose yourself, until you get to one that feels comfortable, then SAVE all of the extras. knowing that you have been addicted before, and there is a chance that you will binge and become addicted again in the future, having a small stockpile of bupe to help you come down would probably be ideal.

why don't you just split one 8mg pill in half, take half in the morning, and half at night, and see if that holds you. if it does, then you are able to save half of the meds you are getting, and will be able to use them in future emergencies (or help a friend taper, if it ever comes to that).

bottom line is that everyone is different. you're going to have to feel it out for yourself. just get to a dose that feels like it's holding you (you're not feeling sick from w/d's, and you're not being over-medicated), and stick with that.

g/l.
 
^^^ 100% agrree with naturalone.
Dont tell your doc it's too much. just take 8mg a day instead of 16 and save the extras for a rainy day.

45mg a day isn't much but for 3 years that puts you on my addiction scale of 1-10 about a 4.
 
Thank you all very much , I did one eight milligram tabtoday and it was plenty so I guess everyday I can save one. Oh ya one more quick question how long do you all think I should stay on this medication , what seems to have more success as far as less W/D at the end a maintance dose for a while months plus or a fairly quick taper of 6 weeks or less? Thanks again -peace
 
I dunno, I just started on it and it seems to be working wonders for me......althougb I'm on 24mg x Day, and I definitely feel it more than I should I think......not that thats'a bad thing, but I don't wanna hafta w/d from any bigger dosage than I have to, ya know???


hmmmmm........well see what happens.....I might have to play around w/my dosage a little.........
 
My bupe doc also drug tests me 1x/week....I wonder if she can gauge how much bupe is in my system, and whether I've been taking more/less????



I'm pretty sure it's a GC/MS test too.....anyone know???
 
Subutex is a godsend!

SO i have been on subutex for over a month now and I have to say its saved my life,marriage and family...i recommend anyone wanting to quit to try to get on it...i think it should be used as an anti depressant as well IMO...my big problem is my DR. i was getting them from just told me today at our appointment he lost his license to practice cuz they said he was giving out to much pain meds(he runs a pain management clinic) so i dunno what im gonna do after this month...maybe i can find another DR. do keep me on it..but it was so hard just to find this guy...anyways if your looking to get off opiates GET ON subutex/suboxone! your life will change!
 
cool to hear you are liking the program. my cousin is really struggling with methadone and I would like to educate him on Bupe (Subutex). Congrats dude and keep it up.
 
yea i like it cuz for one it doesnt get you highAND kills the cravings..ALSO if you take OC or H or Fent etc..while on it...it cancels those drugs out and blocks the high from them..so theres no reason to do them and waste money..i have even done coke while on them and A)it made me not feen out for coke all night and B)i barely even felt the coke high..so i think they should give it to all drug users for all addictions IMO...at least for me it works that way
 
also i was wondering if anyone here on Sub have the same new addiction i have...CANDY i cant stop eating candy(especially sour type candy) its so weird..ever since i been on sub i feen for it lol
 
Come to think of it, I ate a lot of sour patch kids from the candy machine at rehab while on suboxone. Thew first thing I can eat after a few days of kicking is usually candy. I think it's an easy way of putting weight on your body and your body somehow encourages you to eat empty calories.
