Title: Shooting suboxone films?
Post by: sassy on August 08, 2012, 11:48 pm
recently i have been needing extra cash so i have been selling the majority of my suboxone prescription. but i still need a small amount every day. i came up with a logical idea and started shooting 1/4 of a suboxone strip per day. i must say that its easily equivalent to taking a whole one or more sublingually. so i guess my question is: am i safe to be doing this? i filter it twice every time and am very sterile.

I find the oral dose of a fraction of a suboxone still does work for me, not so sure I'd IV it.
Maybe take it on an empty/light stomache?

im prescribed 24mg per day and used to actually take that much so i guess my tolerance is too high to take a really small amount. orally 1 strip does good for me all day but its much cheaper only having to take 1/4th! sooo 80x20=1600$ extra dollars per month just for selling my subs  ;D thats a little more than i make at my job! lol

It'd  be ballsy but you could ask for more, although it's cliche of an addict to push the doc for more drugs. Doc might know your pushing them. I don't know.
Good point, I've never been prescribed so I don't know the tolerance buildup on suboxone.
I just feel like IVing it will only fight the craving for a short bit of time, but whatever works for you! Maybe a big initial boost works best

Doesn't suboxone contain naloxone to make shooting it impossible?

I used to be on 20mgs of sub before the strips came out.  Now I go to the same clinic for methadone, and they aren't prescribing any more than 16 mgs a day, due to the ceiling effect of the suboxone.  They say that any more than 16mgs is pointless.  Anyone else hearing this? I know its true for the clinics in my state, just wondering what the deal is in other places.  When i was on sub, the max dose was 32mgs...
