SWIM has been seeing alot of questions and posts about buprenorphine recently, and while this is still a rarer opioid to come across, its use in pain control and maintenance and tapering with opiate/opioid addiction is becoming increasingly common. Some people report subjective highs with use of this drug, others say that it does nothing but keep them from withdrawing. SWIM is starting this thread so that lab rats, pet flamingos, and SWIYs the world over can report on their experiences with this drug.
SWIM's experience two weeks ago with this drug was an interesting one, and the catalyst for starting this thread for him. He had previously only experienced taking the 0.2 temgesic tabs sublingually, getting a slight head buzz but nothing of note. At the time of ingestion, SWIM did not expect much from this drug.
SWIM had not taken any opiates in the past couple days before ingestion, and the only other drugs he had taken recently was a couple hits of weed about 12 hours before.
SWIM has a high opioid tolerance, so he doesnt reccomend his starting dose for the opiate naive person or lab rat. He dissolved an 8 mg subutex tablet sublingually. About 10 minutes in, SWIM began to feel a bit of physical energy. This was interesting since usually SWIM gets largely cognitive and emotional effects from opioids. Soon SWIM found himself full of energy, and was extremely talkative, and semi-restless. He and two friends were having a great conversation, and they decided to go get some food.
About an hour after ingestion, SWIM felt a very mild euphoria. It did not feel like the extreme, overwhelming euphoria SWIM gets from fentanyl, oxycodone, or other strong opioids. It felt more natural and subdued, like a really good mood. Granted SWIM had been in a good mood before ingestion, but this was even stronger than that. The physical energy continued, but SWIM found it easy to eat and sit still when needed, at the same time.
What SWIM also found intriguing was that, due to the long half-life of the drug, SWIM did not feel a decline in his feelings of happiness or physical energy. The drug was still going strong about 5 hours later when SWIM decided to sleep. Sleep, however, did not come easily. It took SWIM at least an hour to fall asleep although he felt tired. He woke up 6 hours later after having some incredibly weird and vivid dreams, and still felt some residual energy.
SWIM's experience seems unusual when compared to other people he's talked to about this drug. How does it make SWIY feel, for those who have tried it?
SWIM also wants to point out that he is NOT trying to promote this drug or any other opioid. For those without a history of opioid use, he'd advise them to steer clear of this one altogether, since it seems to come in doses that are rather high, and could be too much for someone without a tolerance (although SWIM doesnt know this for sure, it doesnt hurt to be safe).
