I was recently taking 450 micrograms of belbuca twice per day. Insurance told us they would no longer cover belbuca and so my pain clinic decided to switch me back to oxycodone 15mg 3 times a day. It was tough getting through the month because oxycodone does not help my back pain nearly as well as belbuca does, so today I asked them to give me a generic form of Suboxone so that insurance would pay for it. I told them the closest dosage I knew of was 0.7 MG. The doctor told me they would need to research it as they had never prescribed Suboxone previously, they called me back later in the day and told me they had prescribed 8 mg Suboxone 3 times a day. Obviously this is a pretty large jump from my previous prescription. What would happen if I took it as prescribed? Should I cut it up instead? Is there abuse potential? I'm glad they don't fight me on moving medications as requested but I also don't want to ruin my tolerances or get nasty side effects
