Hi ya'all, I haven't been able to find a site on the net to answer my question. (Every site dances around an answer with a bunch of bs. Not going to get into it. Maybe a littlebit later:) My question is: being a 100mg daily oxycodone user, coming off my oxy temporarily accidentally, I was fortunate to stumble upon some 8mg sublingual buprenorphine strips. Being a novice bupe user, I just want some straight answers for safe usage. I waited approximately 36 hours, hurting, before cutting an 8mg strip in half at 6am and placed, 4mg under my tongue. At 815am, I took the other 4mg strip sublingual. I didn't start to feel better for several hours, and now, at 9pm, I feel very good, pupils constricted. So i figured a little background information couldn't hurt first, but, question is how many mgs of bupe is approximate normal daily mdose for a several year oxy user, 100mg most days, cold turkey off oxy? Sorry, another question: how many mg per dose of bupe is appropriate? I can hear " it all depends " answers, but, give me your best approximate per dose, ie, 2mg, after the 8mg I took this morning or more, because the 8mg seems to be holding with no issues, feel fine. Is it simply take small doses according to how you feel? Is there a maximum mg most folks adhere to? I would have thought the net would have answers galore, but was quite surprised by the answers, " bupe isn't a full agonist, but oxy is, so, we as doctors of science have no fucking answers ",etc. Wow! But, having been a frequent learner, and helper for several years on this site, I relish any feedback. That's it. Happy new year from Florida USA! JS
 
Also in Florida USA so happy new year to you as well! I am currently prescribed 8mg in the morning and 4mg at night. I have found the 8mg dose to be enough to hold me. And if it is enough to hold you too, I would take another 4mg when it wears off or when you feel like another dose of buprenorphine would be beneficial (for example, before sleep, like I do) I however also have chronic pain and sometimes dose the 4mg dose when I feel the pain creeping on.

No one is going to be able to give you that magic answer. For some people 8mg might be enough until the next day. Hope this helped you a little bit!

How much oxycodone were you taking before bupe? Or was it something else? Trying to equate the bupe dose to oxy usage
