dosing question

[Deleted member 137730]

I take 2-4 mg suboxone daily.

How much oxycodone should i take after waiting 1 week to get high? I just waant to know a ball park range as i kno everyone is different.

I just have no idea what my tolerance is at or what 2-4 mg suboxone is equal to in terms of normal opiates.


Thanks my peeps.

2-4mg's of suboxone isn't really a lot at all so i would say that 20-30 mg's of percs (oxycodone) should have you feelin pretty righteous man. No more than like 35 or 40 mg's i'd say just for respritory reasons. What was your tolerance like before you went on the subs?

Buprenorphine is somewhere from 10 to 20 times stronger than oxycodone. Furthermore it has quite a long half life which means with daily dosing it will build up in your system.

Drawing from that graph, 3mg a day will build up to 8mg in the body.

2-4mg's of suboxone isn't really a lot at all

Actually 2-4mg daily (8mg summation at any given time) is very high and pretty much enough to hold any level of opioid addiction (think equivalent to well over 100mg of oxy). The reason people often take more bupe than what they "need" is in an attempt to better deal with cravings (feeling high) or due to a variety of doctor and drug company based conspiracies.

If you read the suboxone threads over in OD you'll see time and time again people recommend lowering their dose or not starting so high.

That being said you should still start low as there are a lot of variables at play and your tolerance to full agonists could be very low or who knows what else. Better to be safe.
