Snorting suboxone vs sublingual
Common Questions and Answers about Snorting suboxone vs sublingual
suboxone
Hey Bama,
If they are snorting, it is likely Buprenorphine (Subutex) which is meant for sublingual use but can be snorted or injected. Suboxone is not absorbed well into the body via any method other than sublingual.
Suboxne is Subutex with Naloxone added. Naloxone is a drug that precipitates withdrawl. If you are addicted to another opiate and you use Suboxone, you are subject to be in instant withdrawl instead of getting high.
Regardless, it is evil stuff.
I just found out that my boyfriend is taking Suboxone. I knew he had a problem w pain killers in the past, and noticed his sneaky trips to the bathroom. Come to find out he is sniffing suboxone. He says he has been on it for 3 years and that it helps him stay clean. I have NO IDEA about pills and what the effects they have on you when you are addicted to them or what is even appealing about it. All I know is that I love him and I want to be here for him.

Some of you obviously haven't been educated to the fact that Buprenophine is now being widly used as a MAINTAINENCE DRUG, taking
the place of Methadone. Many people like myself were prescribed 24mg
a day which is the ceiling for any additonal effects sublingually.
I was on 24 mg for 9 months and after that 16mg for the past 2 1/2 years
when I switched MD's.
Use the Suboxone sublingual tablet. You would have a hard time finding pure buperenorphine anyway (sold under the brand Temgesic, and only in injectable form I think). Suboxone is designed specifically for the purpose of opioid withdrawal management and not as an analgesic pain killer as Temgesic is. Get her back into her Suboxone doctor ASAP. He will advise you as to how to proceed.
Ask your doctor to refer you to a pain management specialist. They can perscribe either suboxone/naloxone OR subtex. Suboxone comes in sublingual strips that don't taste as bad and dissolve instantly under your tongue. You cannot take regular opiate pain medication however while taking either because this medication is specifically designed to help people withdrawal from heroin/ and synthetic heroin aka any opioid pain meds.
I have to take Excedrin before I take my Suboxone in the morning because if I don't my headache will be unbearable at some point during the day. I always get a headache from them, no matter how much I take. Maybe you don't tolerate them well like me. My headache will start as soon as the Suboxone kicks in and most of the time it can be kept at a tolerable level with Excedrin throughout the day.
Mr. Fly1234:
First, I'd like to congratulate you on tapering down your Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) maintenance dose. From other patients' experiences, decreasing the dose and discontinuing buprenorphine are not easy tasks for many.
Under federal law, DATA 2000 or Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000, only qualified physicians can prescribe and treat opioid addiction with controlled narcotics medications, such as buprenorphine products (Suboxone, Subutex or generic alternatives).
of Suboxone relieves the obsession to use, and places addicition into remission. A person snorting small pieces of a Suboxone tablet is NOT at that ceiling level, and is not getting the benefit of Suboxone-- he might as well be snorting oxycodone.
I recommend that he find an addiction doc who can treat him properly, and advocate for his job if necessary. It is a fool's errand to taper off one opioid after another, each time thinking that THIS time will be different.
I have a son who is a what you call I guess as a functioning addict and he is using Heroine and Suboxone. Recently for the last several months has had a hacking sore throat. He is always clearing his throat or trying. I think he is snorting the stuff. Can anyone tell me what they know about this reaction?
I have a friend who has been crushing oxycodone #15 mg and #30 mg pills and snorting them.... I suggested just puting them into a cup of coffee but she insists on doing them that way. Are there any health risks involved in snorting the pills?
Note: they are small pills with no Tylanol in them....
Somebody suggested a liquid B12 sublingual vitamin. I think I will try that. I just want all of the suboxone users on this board to know that it can be done! You can be free of suboxone!
Hugs...
My friend was put on Zubsolv which apparently is similar to Suboxone. Any information would be approximated. More so on does it work the same? Is the strength comparable?
I took Buprenorphine sublingual tablets with Narcan (Suboxone I think?), at a dose that was comfortable for my current use. Unfortunately, I have NO CLUE how to measure the amount you, dear reader, would need to take. I had a moderate habit and started at 8mg per day and tapered down just a bit, ONLY as much as I could without feeling sick.
Week 2: 24 hours approximately after the last dose of Bupe, I took my first dose of Methadone. At the time it was 40mil.
i hae been in the suboxone program for about 8 months and i was in the program only a month before i started snorting my meds not to get high or to feel it faster but because i miss the drain of it and i went from doing it every day 4 or 5 times a day to doing it once every couple of days 1 time a day and i just found out that my doctor has started something new he will be calling me in within the next week to check my arms to see if i have been shoting it up but i have never ever done that and
d as suboxone. And I know that Sub is a tough w.d. Especially at 8mg. You need to get down to less then 2mgs to make your w.d somewhat bearable. But that is MY opinion based on what I have gone through. Some say they don't have any w.d comin off of sub. So I guess it depends. Have your drs told you what to expect? Who is giving you the sub? I know they don't know you are snorting it.
