YES, it is much quicker and takes less to suffice the withdrawals... however, it also wears off alot quicker, not to mention the taste (wow)..

∙ 14y agoDo not snort it! That is not the way the medication is intended to be used.. under the tongue only! You can also crush it up and put it under your tongue that way it melts faster!

The fastest way to get suboxone out of your system?
The only way to take Suboxone is to dissolve it under your tongue. Swallowing it won't work, because it won't dissolve in your stomach. And don't even think about crushing it up and snorting it or smoking it; it simply does not work that way. You can do that with heroin, and it sort of works with Vicodin and oxycodone, but not with Suboxone. Furthermore, the maximum amount of Suboxone you can take at one time is 32 milligrams (four 8-mg pills). Taking any more than that will have no effect, so don't even try: it's just a waste of expensive medication.
Is it dangerous to go under anaesthesia if taking suboxone?
I don't know how snorting suboxone is working for this person, because if so, it's the first I've ever heard of such a thing. Suboxone is specifically designed NOT to work any other way besides dissolving under your tongue -- even swallowing it won't work. So basically, it would just waste your suboxone. But what I don't get is why you would even want to try -- if you're taking suboxone to begin with, aren't you trying to fight a drug problem (that probably involves snorting, etc.)? Or do you just like to put things in your nose? If its the latter, let me reccommend crushing Smarties candies and doing that instead. It seems just about as intelligent.
How long does suboxone need to dissolve?
It depends on whether you are taking pills (which you do not swallow), or sublingual strips. It should take no longer than 5-10 minutes. Also remember not to swallow while the Suboxone is still under the tongue. Swallowing will lessen the effect, these drugs do not work nearly as well when ingested, they must be absorbed by the blood vessels of the tongue. Always keep the Suboxone under your tongue, do not simply hold it in your mouth.-B. Neych MD PhD-Wayne State University
Should you swallow the spit after taking suboxone?
I always do. When it's dissolving under the tongue let it completely dissolve then you can swallow. Avoid talking, chewing, drinking and anything else if possible that way you take in as much under the tongue as possible
How long does suboxone stay in your mouth?
It usually dissolves completely within five minutes, but if they have been on a shelf for awhile can take up to 10 minutes. Suboxone should only be taken sublingually(dissolved under tongue), if not taken this way it is virtually ineffective.
Should you eat before taking suboxone?
you can eat before after oreven during if you like.ithas no adverse reason for eating at certain times.i've been on suboxone for foouryears now....
Is Suboxone bad to snort?
Answer #1It's not dangerous to snort Suboxone, but it is rather pointless. Suboxone tablets do not dissolve well in the stomach: that is why Suboxone is a sub-lingual medication, meaning that it dissolves under the tongue. Swallowing it before it's dissolved will have virtually no effect.The reason people snort drugs is that snorting a drug sends it straight up to the brain, giving you an instant high. But Suboxone doesn't work that way -- it has to be dissolved with saliva and swallowed, in order for it to work. So by snorting it, all you're really doing is sending it up your nose, and then back down to your throat, where it will be dissolved by your saliva and sent straight to your stomach, like it's supposed to be taken. So you might as well skip the long trip up your nose and back down your throat, and just dissolve it under your tongue the normal way.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Answer #2I'm sorry, but the above answer is completely incorrect. Your nose and your mouth are both mucous membranes, and so they both absorb medications the same way. The reason that people snort Suboxone and Subutex is because your nose will absorb more than under the tongue, plus you don't have saliva up there to wash it away - the longer it sits on the veins of the mucous membrane, the more that is absorbed. If I remember correctly, 35-45% of the medication is absorbed under the tongue, while 55-65% of the medication is absorbed nasally. Very little, if any, Suboxone is absorbed in the stomach. This is the same for other drugs that can snorted - cocaine for example. It works very well when snorted, but not very well when swallowed. You could in fact put cocaine under the tongue and it would work better than eating it, but not as well as snorting it. The biggest problem with snorting any drug is the amount of "cut" or other ingredients that are included. With pills like Suboxone, there is a lot of binder, sugar, filler, etc. These can wreak havoc on the nose, causing sinus infections, Meningitis, septum deterioration, and many other very bad things. The "cut" in cocaine is actually better for your nose than the "cut" in Suboxone, because the stuff in Suboxone isn't meant to be snorted. Now if you wanted to get really crazy, you could purify the Suboxone by removing the buprenorphine from the rest of the materials. It would be a simple process of finding the solubility of buprenorphine in different liquids and then comparing that to the solubility of the Narcan and the rest of the "cut" to discover a way to use those multiple liquids to remove what you don't want, step by step. There are many explanations/tutorials on making and using extractions on the internet that describe this technique/process. Then once it's purified, snorting it would be easy (as well as shooting it, but that's bad!). For now, just stick it under your tongue like you're supposed to.
How long should I wait to take a Suboxone after taking 7 days of Vicodins?
I guess it would be okay for you to take a vicodin after 48 hours of you not taking any suboxone. Suboxone has a long half life and that means it stays in your system for a long period of time. First of all, why would you want to only be on suboxone for a week? suboxone doesn't work in a week. And if it does work for you in a week then why would you want to touch a vicodin again??
When taking Suboxone do you let the saliva pool under your tongue or do you spit it out or swallow as its dissolving?
Don't spit it out ... thats the medicine ( really ? ) I put it under my tongue till its completel disvoled and swallow the rest with water. kicks it in quicker regardless of what people say. i know first hand.
Can suboxone get in your system by touching it?
No, suboxone cannot get into your system by touching it. This drug has to mix with your saliva or it won't be effective. You place it under your tongue for about 5 to 10 minutes until it dissolves.
Are there any generic forms of suboxone?
Yes there now is a generic form a suboxone. It's a white pill that almost looks like a percocet. You use it the same way, underneath your tongue.
If a 14 year old snorts it what will happen if he snort suboxon?
Snorting Suboxone is defiinitely not recommended. From what I've read, the smallest line will make you vomit, extremely tired and feel completely of it. You may even go into a panic attack. You will feel as though you have done too much and you just want to feel normal again. Not worth it. Taking it sublingually is the best way to go. Also, it doesnt matter if you're 14 or 36. It strictly depends on your tolerance to other opiates. This is totally untrue. Snorting suboxone actually can stretch out the medication to last longer. No side effects, except a sore nose and orange boogers. If you are looking to get high then snort it, if are not trying to abuse it just let it dissolve under your tongue. age doesn't matter. if he has no tolerance to opiates he will probably vomit and nod.
