I live in Finland, and real heroin is practically non-existent here, aswell as are the harder opioids, codeine is available as 30mg with 500mgs paracetamol on prescription. This is an amphetamine country one could say. But my point is , that people since there is no heroin start using/abusing with buprenorphine, and the most commonly available is suboxones. And this is an increasing problem it seems.
My ex-wife´s got HIV , and the medication messes up her stomach, so she insisted on going on suboxone treatment, because suboxones help with that (and I also believe she likes to be a little high). This after some two years of purchasing them on the street, and injecting. Under the two years shooting the stuff, she got sick maybe three times, and I believe this was only because of contamination on the needle or something similar. I myself have gotten the same symtoms maybe twice, and I´ve done iv speed some 15 years and iv subs maybe 4 years, but on an irregula basis.
Now I started working as a scaffolding constructor (bloody hardcore physically ultra-heavy work) , I´ve gone on subs just to cope with the work, i take one quarter 8mg and dissolve in three ml water, this is for three doses. No adverse effects so far, I just can now deal with the muscle pain and feel better at work (I have modest problems with depression) .
My point is, that afaik, i you haven´t got any "good" opioids in your system, shooting subs is no problem with regards to the naloxone and withdrawal issue. I still do not encourage anyone to shoot them.
