Trying to push through bupe

Hello all. So I have been on suboxone for a few months now and about a month ago my doctor upped my dose to 16 mg/day. I know this is a rather high dose but anyways...about a week ago I was with an old friend of mine and had the opportunity to get some H at a really good price. And pretty good quality too. So I got about a half gram and have been sitting on it for a week. I took my last dose of sub 24 hours ago and just tried to smoke a little of the H. Pretty much nothing happened. So I know these posts are all over. But I was wondering if someone could tell me based on the information given how I should proceed to break through the bupe and actually be able to feel the rest of my H. My thought is to just try smoking little pieces every 6 hours or so untill I can feel it. Because I also don't want to start getting sick. Anyways... I have a pretty fast metabolism and I have been on the subs for about three months total. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
 
Easiest way to know for sure is to wait until you're going through withdrawal. I got weaned off suboxone all the way down to 1/2mg a day, and I still went through WD when I was off completely. BE CAREFUL, an acquaintance's little brother just OD'd by trying to get opiate high while on prescription sub. To achieve a high, he had to double his dose in order for the naloxone dosage to be insufficient. I know I worded that funny, but hopefully you get the idea. If you don't understand, then you're probably too dumb to be using, let alone mixing, hard drugs. Be safe blue, and remember, subs have a way liger half life than dope to prevent this exact situation. You have a day or two to reconsider if you want to jump down the rabbit hole again!...
 
That's a huge dose man ur gonna have I wait a MINIMUM 48 hours to even feel it at more anything more than 50% strength trust me I have lots of experience on this subject and also have a "fast metabolism" tht shit barely matters at the huge dose your on so if u really wanna have a good time wih you dope u need to wait 72 hours no ifs ands or buts
 
I used to swap between bupe and H (or other opiates) a fair bit, and found the best way was to do a short taper. If you're on 16mg, cut down to say take 8mg one day, 4mg the next, 2mg the next and then when you start feeling the withdrawal the day after that, take the other opiate.

Of course then you have to wait 12 - 36 hours after your last dose of H before you can take the bupe again, so you're looking at making yourself uncomfortably sick twice just to get high for a day or two. Up to you as to whether that's worth it.

A lot of people have also noted that the process of swapping becomes more painful and the bupe becomes less effective if you do this frequently, so watch out for that.
 
When I was on that dose it took me 3 days before I could get a decent high. Not only dose that dose of bupe block opiates for a few days, but it also keeps your tolerance high, but don't take that as meaning you are good to take a high dose of it. Just wait the 3 days until you are feeling sick, and then see how you react to a dose of the heroin and go from there. You may want to use some on day 3 just to keep you from getting sicker, and then on day 4 try to get high.
