Could someone pls pm me information as to where to obtain these? I want to detox myself but have no inclination of going to a doctor, revealing my problem, and forever being labeled an addict. Any help would be appreciated. My e-mail is michael.bedard@colorado.edu
I am now using sublingual Buprorex Bupe. I got it from Raj. They are so hard it takes hours to dissolve. I crush them and place the powder under my tongue and it does work.

I got some of those also and if they are in blister packs or sealed in plastic, take out for a few days and then they will soften and disolve faster. The first ones were taking about an hour and a half to disolve under my tongue. After taking them out of package they would disolve in about 20 minutes. They were Buprorex and tasted slightly sweet gabie
can someone email me at theworkerbee@hush.com on raj and the price and quantity of the buprorex that was received. I am on 40mg of suboxone daily and need to find a source besides my expensive [censored] doc. I need some pure bup. thanks

99% of Sub Doc's want cash upfront. Not measly insurance. Then after the initial $1,000.00, 50% may be nice and take your insurance.

Amen Brother, these Docs are like vampires man, they have a monopoly because they specialize and they bleed people. And to think in our society, you have these vampires, but it is the addict they want to put in Jail. Im sorry if this was an inappropriate post.
OK I'm confused. Does ANYONE know anything about this new brand of buprenorphine that is being sold by the IOPs? It is branded as Bunorfin, and all I can find out about it is that it is supposed to be taken orally. This goes against everyone I know about buprenorphine. It has neglible bioavailability. So did they change the ionization somehow?
I've searched the internets and I can't find any info from the manufacturer either, it's like a mystery. The mystery buprenorphine. Can I just take them sublingually like a normal bupe tablet?
*edit* After much searching, this is the most information I could come up with:
But that is it. That little bit where it says: "Dosage: 1-2 sublingually six to eight hourly or as required" is more information than I could find after visiting a multitude of other sites, including ATCO's own website.
So maybe it can be taken sublingually like others?
I have one more question then I'll let this drop since there's plenty of info here.
Is there a correct way to take tablets sublingually? Like I said previously, it has been a long long time since I've used buprenorphine for my pain, and I can't recall any issues with the sublingual method.
You have a saliva tube right at the base of your tounge as far in as you can push the tablet under your tounge and close to the main beam of your tounge, one either side that is where the tablet is meant to sit. Sometimes the saliva is a problem but try and swallow it away before you commence.Even 4 tablets I can feel the effect after 15 minites
I found a couple of sites that sell it, but I am trying to find something cheaper.
The best price I found was $180 for 100-count .02mg Temgesic Sublingual pills (or $250 for 150-count of the same.)
Also, I read in one of these forums that "less is better" when it comes to Buprenorphine, but then there are some users here that have gripes about how you have to take a buttload of .02mg Temgesic pills to equal the strength of Suboxone... but I thought less was better? Why is there even a comparison of strength if this is the common understanding?

I think the Rules don't allow me to PM sources, and since there's a few people asking for PM's for Buprenorphine I thought I'd just post here instead. Hope that's alright:
I got some 0.2mg Buprenorphine... it says, er, "Rukgasee" for the brand name from StarliteRX.
My mother has been on Suboxone prescribed by a doctor for three years. She tapered down to 1 2mg tablet per day and her and her doctor decided that she would go off of them to free up some patient slots for him. They decided he would write her out a script for 50 more and she would go down to 1/2 tablet a day. He did write her a script for 60 more which would last her 120 days.
She thought that by 60 days into it she could just cut off completely but she is having a very hard time even with that little amount....as ridiculous as it sounds. She is kind of bumming out about possibly not having any and might talk to her doctor about giving her more time....but if he can't write scripts for more people she will be out of luck.
I looked into getting some for her on the internet as a backup plan. I see the Temgesic 0.2mg and I am a bit confused. 0.2mg seems like an awfully small amount. I've known people who were prescribed 24mg/daily of Suboxone so if it was a 1:1 mg ratio they would have needed 120 Temgesic daily for the same effect! On the other hand, Suboxone tablets are actually 2mg/.2mg Bupenorphine/Naltrexone.
So...for anyone who has had experience with both Suboxone and Temgesic....is 1 2mg Suboxone = 10 0.2mg Temgesic or is there something I am missing?

I think it works like, less is more. I know in a detox setting in the hospital, .02 or .03 IM shots are given. I have actually felt a buzz of that. I think the US docs are way over medicating patients.
i have been in detox facility before and they started me out on .03 IM shots a few times a day and reduced it every two days and it worked great. I had a few restless nights afterwards but still it was better for me then coming off suboxone, that was pretty bad couple weeks. Now back at it again down to 3mg subutex a day. The sublingual .03 bup does not work near as good as in a detox where it can be given IM
