Snorting Buspirone

I work in a forensic hospital and have seen a number of  patients who snort buspirone. The drug is traded for sexual favors here and aside from the obvious high some patients report it provides an aphrodesic effect.  This is new information..there any data to evidence this side effect?  Thanks

GA Guy got the meds right..However, are you talking about BUPRENORPHINE which is Subutex they use to help ppl with Addiction? I have heard of some ppl shooting this drug and some over using it to get that high feeling. It works a bit different then the other opiates. Never heard of abusing the other 2 that are mentioned.

I find this whole line of questioning odd. First of all, you have your medications messed up. Buspirone is Buspar..a no-benzo anxiety medication which seems to work maybe 10 percent of the time. Wellbutrin is Bupropion, an antidepressant. I have never heard of either of these meds being snorted, and I doubt that either would produce a high. But, addictive minds can certainly create the illusion of anything.
