| It is really too much dude |
I don’t know if it is really too much. Every body could work in a different way.
I personally never needed more than 8mg. If 8mg was not enough, than I had first taper down with heroin or methadone. When my consumption of heroin or methadone was too high, beprenorphine didn’t work for me. I just helped a little but actually I was still feeling bad – no matter how much beprenorphine I took.
I friend of mine is has an illness that is called ADHS (in Geman). I don’t know if it’s the exact word but I should mean something like "attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity". As many people with illness, he tried to cure himself wit alcohol and drugs. Now he stopped heroin and started to take suboxone. He did not take really high heroin doses but now he needs 32mg suboxone to feel good. Something in his body seems to work different.
If I take diazepam, I will get tired. If he takes it, it will work as methamphetamine for me. And if he takes methamphetamine, he will get quiet and tired.
So Suboxone need not to work the same way in everybody. So I could be possible that some people need much more than others.
But my personal experience is: If 8mg do not help, more will not help either. Suboxone only works for my when I am low dosed on opiods.
