Same thing here, no suboxone.

Don't have any 72hr bupe patches here. The only 72hr patches i know of available are fentanyl patches named Durogesic which i have tried and that was not a good experience(understand me right). Far to euphoric and sedating, exactly like diacetylmorphine without the rush. I'll leave those patches to the people that really need them. I have a gut feeling that they would cause me more trouble than good anyway. Anyway those TransTec patches look like exactly the thing i need. Higher dosed than BuTrans(only ones available here but brand is Norspan instead of BuTrans). One 40 mg patch would deliver 1.6 mg per 24/hr's compared to sublingual bupe. And that dose is pretty much exactly my preferred dose.
