Default Do not shoot suboxone

I just wanted to tell everyone my experience with injecting suboxone. My friend said he read somewhere that there was not enough narcan in suboxone to do anything if you inject it in small amounts. So about a month or two ago I tried it. I had 2m subutex with no nalaxone in it at all, and 2mg suboxone with nalaxone in it. Prior to this i was using herion and roxi. Im not on maintenece sub. Anyway, I stupidly shot those pills up and i thought i was going to die for a minute or two. My heart started racing so fast, and everything started spinning. Instant goosebumps and instant withdrawal. I almost went to the emergency room. So the lesson learned here is do not shoot suboxone. The narcan (.5mg ) in a 2mg sub is enough narcan to take someone who is not breathing out of a heroin od. After the narcan wore off in an hour or so i felt back to normal but it was a bad experience.

Good advice.Cool that you shared your experience to warn others that might be thinking about shooting suboxone.

I can't believe you did that knowing what you were doing. But it's over with now, main thing is just don't do it again. And for anyone else the same thing can happen whether you shoot it or snort it. You are not supposed to abuse this medication. Either way the naloxone WILL make you ill. Preciptitated withdrawls are serious as just explained above. God bless.

I AM saying it's BAD for you and stupid to shoot suboxone or anything else.

Big deal, you made it through shooting it once and now you can shoot it and not get sick. Shooting suboxone instead of heroin is a piss poor regimen for getting clean.

You may as well shoot the freakin heroin. You're still just being a drug addict anyway selling your soul for a needle. May God bless and protect you.
