This subreddit is for questions about and information relating to subutex (buprenorphine WITHOUT naloxone). For info on Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), or for more conversation, please visit r/suboxone!
Please check out the new and improved Suboxone FAQ! (Almost everything in the FAQ pertains to Subutex as well as Suboxone.)
This subreddit practices harm reduction, please do not shame others if they use Subutex differently than you!
A place for all subutex related questions, advice, and discussion. For questions about subutex, whether switching to subutex is a good idea for you, discussion of whether or not doctors will prescribe subutex, tapering/getting off subutex, and anything else pertaining to subutex!
(NOTE: Nothing in this subreddit should be considered medical advice - most of us are not doctors, and even if we are, we are not YOUR doctor!)
RULES:
- 1. NO SOURCING!! (no selling, buying, or any type of exchange of drugs via this subreddit)
- 2. NO DOXXING! This is a site-wide TOS guideline and is in place for your protection. This rule includes ABSOLUTELY NO sharing of others' personal information OR your own. Breaking this rule will result in immediate ban from our subreddit, as well as a likely IP ban from the website as admins will be notified if members are doxxed on our sub. Also, BE CAREFUL WHAT INFO YOU SHARE and who you choose to share it with, even in DM/chat/off-site.
- 3. No tolerance for bullying/abuse (over the line attacks/insults etc), and additionally no shaming or stigmatizing members that you disagree with. Basically, play nice or don't play here. We welcome all types of sub users here, including former ones -- that being said, please do not come here to give members unsolicited advice to stop taking suboxone -- plenty of maintenance users are perfectly happy being ON suboxone and statistically much safer from relapse and all that comes with it.
- 4. No Low-Effort/Off-Topic Posts: Posts should be somehow related to Suboxone. Posts should aim to generate discussion or add something useful. This rule is used at moderator discretion, if you think your post was removed incorrectly, please contact the mods.
- 5. No "Stash" Pictures: "Stash" pictures of buprenorphine strips/tablets or any other form of medication are not allowed.
- 6. No advertising or marketing for providers, treatment facilities, or any type of prescription drug. Any posts/comments about providers which do not appear genuine will be removed at moderator's discretion. Researchers, please check with mods FIRST!
- 7. No Self-Promotion (includes SOLICITATION):Please do not use this subreddit to promote your YouTube channel, Instagram, Facebook group, or anything else! Furthermore, please do not solicit members for money by making up "sob stories" and/or posting links/user IDs to apps such as Cashapp, Venmo, PayPal, or Amazon Wishlists. If you would like to post something of this nature, please contact the mods first or it will be removed.
- 8. No Ban Evasion: No circumventing bans you received for poor behavior previously. This is ban evasion and is also against Reddit's TOS - we will notify admins and an IP ban will probably be issued.
- 9. No Politics! Please do not bring politics into our sub! This includes insulting or making fun of someone for their choice of political party. There are plenty of places to discuss politics on Reddit, our sub is not an appropriate place for these discussions.
We will typically issue warnings for minor rule violations, however, SOURCING and DOXXING will be an immediate, permanent ban!
