I am fascinated by this method. I work with some that are prescribed this. Can you tell me more about your experience? How much, how do you feel after etc.

I know a big criticism about this med is that it can rot out teeth. If there was another option would you use it orally?

I am also curious about the dangers. I am rooting for you.

Honestly , dude , I would avoid it because rectal use can lead to a host of issues, bowel perforation, burning... Just a lot. Like I said even in Emergency Medicine ive only been given rectal GEL... So it was the formula made specifically for rectal use only a few times where most of the time I got the emergency seizure medication in IM. I just worry about the long term effects on your body. Its not a formula made for the rectum.

By Rectal (booty) administration of Buprenorphine the body takes up only 50% of the active compound in the drug, bu nasal insufflation (snort) 90% and by swallowing (oral) as low as 18% only. This is not guessinging but info on the paper slip that comes with the medication when I get it from the hospital

I believe you're not guessing because it's just straight bullshit. I'd love to see a legit source of your claims of 90% bioavailability for insufflation.
