I started researching suboxone when I was only taking 10 5 mg Percocet a day and the doctor put me two 8 mg tabs a day. Everyone was prescribed the same amount whether you took a few perks a day or 2 grams of heroin. That was before the sublingual strips were created. I did have success with the tablets, but as my addiction and dependence worsened , the precipitated withdrawals were so horrific, the last time I almost died and I am terrified to even attempt switching back to suboxone again.
