Bupe Titrating from 8mg twice a day to .5mg twice a day

I have been on suboxone film for 3 years now (8mg twice a day) and I am trying to get down to a dose where I can feel the more beneficial effects (mood lift, opiate like) and so went from sublingually 8mg in the morning and night to IVing 1mg twice daily. I've not noticed any ill signs. It's been about four days since I've made the switch and surprisingly the jump hasn't harmed me. A brief calculation with the information I have seen goes like this.

8mg SL= about 3.5mg IV

1mg IV = 4.5mg SL

So I've basically reduces my bupe intake by half and not felt any ill side effects. However, I still have not noticed any of the desired effects.

My question is, where do I go from here. Should I try now to jump down to .5mg IV morning and night. The reason I am IVing is, 1. Because I have a needle fetish of a sort I guess, and 2. Because I feel as if I can more accurately track how much bupe is in my system. Sublingually tends to yield different results but IV is pretty much guaranteed 100% availability.

The thing is my cravings have been coming back and I want to get to a lower more efficient dose. Have I done all I can already? Is there more I can do? Try taking it only once a day maybe? Then every other day? I want to feel the effects of the norbuprenorphine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated if anyone has personal experience with this.

Thanks guys.
 
^^^ haha he wants ro get high thats why he lowered it .You could go down even more to say .25 mgs 3-4 times a day. This way you get a nice rush every time (I know first hand I never believed it either but now I'm a believer it feels like I'm doing percocets at these low doses I take 0.3mgs 3times a day. If your on a low dose like that then when ever you want to get a better high and chill out you can just IV a whole 1mg instead of .3mgs to get a nice high since you will be under the ceiling effect still cause after 2mg the drug starts to lose its special effects and it blocks itself from getting you high basically. Its best to stay under 2 mgs and to split it up into 3-4 doses everyday if you want to get high off it and get pain relief. The trick is to take small amounts so it wears off quicker and you can redose later and still get a rush. Ever since ive done sub's like this heroin doesn't interest me anymore bupe seems better its like morphine to me now. Such a cool drug how you can do 1 mg a day for decades and never need to raise your dose.
