Bupe is buprenorphine. People use the terms bupe / Sub interchangeably because bupe is the main active ingredient in Suboxone.

I’m with stucknot on this in saying your dose is too high, and you were right in cutting your dose significantly. However you did notice cravings resurface on your lower dose, so maybe it’s about finding the right balance. Keep in mind that people do still get cravings on Suboxone at times. It’s not about totally eradicating your cravings. It’s about making them manageable, and giving yourself a sense of control over them. If you can identify that you’re having a craving without acting on it, then I’d suggest that’s pretty normal and not necessarily a sign that you need more Suboxone.

Subs shouldn’t get you high. It’s normal to miss that feeling at times, even for those of us on Sub. But you should be able to keep a level head through it.

Let us know how you go.
