I did not say take 4mg, it may have sounded like it but I just meant go ahead and get the 4mg strips... I think 1mg of Bupe is equal to around 27mg of Oxycodone. Getthing the 4mg strips and cutting them in half would be around what she was taking and enough to keep her well if she is getting on it for maintaince, and ALSO SAVE HER MONEY ON AN EXPENSIVE MEDICATION and LEAVE HER W/ XTRA MEDS IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH HER DOCTOR. That way she would have enough to taper off. I know ALL about conversion charts. Im a upper middle class junnkie thats lives out in the boondocks...we don't have heroin, but oxy,lortabs,morphine,dillies,fent, etc.... anyway I think you should get the 4mg strips and cut them in half, hell you might be able to get by on 1mg...and if you get the 8mg strips you will save soooo much money if you just cut it into 2mg pieces. Thats my advice. But the guy from the ghetto seems to know what he's talking about, so I would take his advice for sure.
