Dosing for pain and addiction

Please make sure to present your opinion so it’s clear that it’s just that: your opinion. This is being presented as FACT, when it is debateable. Are you here in the US to actually KNOW how it’s prescribed all the time to make a factual statement like that?

When it comes to treating ADDICTION with suboxone, it’s also referred to as HDB ("High Dose Bupe") and it is given in high doses and one’s tolerance WILL likely go up. But the high doses are necessary for suboxone to do what it’s meant to – stop w/d, cravings, and to block full opioid agonists should the person relapse. What one person needs is not the same as what another person needs.

Now all that said, I’m not saying there aren’t some doctors who give way too high of an induction dose to people who have a very, very small habit. But that doesn’t mean it’s some kind of "American" tradition or something.
