Hey.
It's good to finaly be a member, after years of reading on this site. This site kept me from making many ignorant mistakes.
I'm currently on 150-200mg of Oxycodone per day.
I'm in contact with a clinic, and they want to start me up on Buprenorphine on monday. So I can't take any Oxy half of the Sunday.
So what I'm curious about is, how do they land you on the right dose?
Do they increase the dose once a day, and make you come back every day in the beginning, untill you reach a dose that works? Or do they make you stay the first day and dose every hour, until reaching a good dose?
And how do they determine when your dose is high enough? Do they keep raising dose untill i say it's enough, or do they have some way of telling?
I'm in Scandinavia. But examples from your country is fine. I'm guessing the approach is similar.
Thanks a lot for the help! Much appreciated.
Best regards
