I'm sure you mean well but I don't think that's correct. The equivalent of higher doses of methadone to suboxone then would cause a suboxone overdose using your calculations.If someone were on 150 mg of methadone, you are saying they would need to take almost 19 x 8 mg suboxone! That would be deadly!!!! Suboxone and methadone are just different. I think the 8mg to 30-40 mg is a very close comparison.If a doctor told you that they should lose their license.
8 mg of suboxone is the equivalent to only 10 mg of methadone I've asked doctors and read plenty of forums on this subject I was really strung out on oxycoden and roxy I've been taking suboxone for 2 1/2 years and have really come a long way from where I was I thank God everyday
?????????????????????????????????
i beg to differ on that as well suboxone is highly addictive took me 3 weeks to feel complelely normal it sucked never go thru that again
one 8 miligram sub is equal to 30 miligrams of methadone your right
That is a difficult question. How much methadone where you taking and for how long? How long was your methadone taper? Anyway, I was on 100-200mg methadone a day. I switched to 150mg Norco for 4 days and waited until I hit 25 on the COWS scale. about 3 days. Look up COWS scale at that is what your doctor should be using to determine time of induction, not time after last dose.
