Still more buprenorphine confusion

[Bodymechanic]

I doubt there has ever been an opiate drug that was more poorly understood by it's users.  In one of your posts you write that suboxoxone absorbsion is from 50-90%.  Is this from measuring blood levels?  Also, hairysoda writes in a previous post that he changed from 4amps of buprenx to 12 mg of suboxone.  Correct me if I am wrong, but is'nt this an almost 10 fold increase in dosing?  Yet you never mention this in spite of the fact he is asking about getting off the drug totally. What is a high dose? What is a low dose?  Are there any long term side effects with use over many years?  Is buprenorphine addictive and at what dose?  I have been using buprenophine for almost 6 months now and no-one has been able to answer even the most basic of questions.

Any information beyond the usual press releases would be most helpful.

Thanks

I'm sure that if everyone is patient, we'll be privy to Bsill's secret formula~! I'll bet it has something to do with enemas that "Cleanse the body of toxins".... Yes, YOU TOO can find the "Cure" for only $99.95! One hot water bottle, a rubber tube, and some vaseline, and you will get those evil toxins out of your system!

Now I remember why I haven't posted here in a long time.....
Give me a Freakin' break!

Dude, if your still around I can't figure out from your posts if you have found a way to deal with the back pain with out pills or not. If you don't mind if you have, can you pass it along.
I take no meds but have to admit my back and legs are killing me.
I can't sleep worth a ****. I can work out ok pain does not get much worse it just really bothers me at night. I was really hoping I would have built back up a tolerance to some degree to this old pain but so far nothing, I stopped all meds well over a month ago, could I still be in some kind of WD?
Oh and everyone pain doc gave me this **** called Topamax for chronic pain DONT TAKE IT, I did for a little over a week lost 18lbs puked every ******* day. friggin doc told me it wasn't the med until I looked it up on the Net it didn't help with pain and has really bad side effects I swear to God they must get kick backs from the drug companies.

If I had to guess it is the Groovster trying to **** people off since we found out YET ANOTHER one of her suedo's.
I think she is getting pissed we can spot her from a mile away.

Take, for instance, you go into a clinic and get the group that is on maintenance.  Are you implying your post would pertain to each and every one of them?  I ask this because of the general nature of your post.  I can honestly say your rule could pertain to SOME people, but ALL?  There are far too many factors involved.  Each case is individual.  It should be treated as such.  Thank God maintenance is around.  I couldn't imagine it not being there for the people that really need it.  And, it is around for a reason.  The govt. saw it as a necessity and allowes it to exist to this day.

It's clear from your "answer" that you know nothing about the neurological effects of long-term chronic opiate abuse. Before you dismiss maintenance and the people on maintenance, I suggest you try to actually learn something about the subject.

i don't want to sound pushy or nosy, but why have you stayed on bup the length of time you claim too? isn't it quite expensive? has your
md that Rx's bup not been concerned? i'm sorry, i just find it hard to understand being addicted to an opiate that doesn't give you the feeling of God's Own Medicine. I'm not down on maintainence, i just
can't understand why someone would want to do it with bup.

keep an angel on your shoulder
