I too am glad that you came back and explained more, I can see now that you want to stop the relapsing and like Hat think that upping your dose will help. You said you were doing good on a higher dose before. Just because the ceiling is around 4mg does not mean you would not benefit from a higher dose. If you are metabolizing the sub faster then a higher dose would put more sub in your system and it would take you longer to metabolize. If you are taking 4mg twice a day then you are most likely dropping below the ceiling.
Also if you are worried you will skip a dose why not give your sub to your mom like you suggested doing with the methadone, then she can watch you take it and you could not be tempted to skip days. I only suggest this because you suggested this for methadone and do not see why you could not apply it to sub as well. Of course I am not a Dr. either and these are only my opinions based on my personal experience.
I really hope you can get this all straightened out and find a dose that holds you, you said above that you are not having cravings on your current dose so why up it? I think you know that is not true, if you were not having cravings then you would not be using. I applaud you for coming back and explaining yourself and hope you continue to post here, we are all rooting for you and are here anytime, even if it’s just to bullshit and get your mind off using.
