Sorry for any mis understanding - Ga Guy is right, it is not a linear scale on how much of a dose of sub is prescribed. There are several factors, the drug of choice and dose are of course factors. Everyone is different too - for some, 4mg may work just fine, for others on the same DOC and drug, it may take 12mg. In this case, I think this is something for only your doctor to handle.
So you are saying the amount prescribed, whether you take 5 mg. of oxy or 300mg., shouldn't make a difference? Then what are the factors, because my doctor prescribed me 4mg of sub a day and it is not cutting it? I just assumed the more you took, the bigger the "void" you were creating that needs to be filled with sub, but this is not the case?
Suboxone dosage is NOT determined by the dosages of your drug of choice. It is NOT a linear scale. You can't make a linear correlation between an agonist drug and an antagonist-agonist drug. It's impossible. I wish more people understood this.
Go on www.suboxone.com they have a help line I know you are not taking suboxone but it is pretty much the same thing I would think if u gave the help line a call or I think they have a live chat they could probably help u out.
Good luck and hang in there

Your right about imitrex. That class of medication is known as "triptans". It makes my migraines 10x worse to the point that I'm throwing up and crying from the pain.
Sorry - can't type today - few typo's in the last post.
