does anyone know the average dose of sub per day if there is such a thing?
It varies based on many factors - including what your DOC was, your daily usage amount, how long you had been using, how many times you had tried to quit previously, your Sub Doc's knowledge (or lack of knowledge!!) about Sub, etc....
I will say that you should take the lowest amount possible to keep the w/d symptoms away and try to taper off sooner rather than later unless you already plan to be on for long term maintenance because many have a tough time getting off the Sub and did not know that it is a very powerful (without the euphoria!!) opiate!!
Don't know if that helps you at all or not.....
How much are you taking??
Do you have plans for how long until you are off it??

i am on 8 mg. a day but i have used 10 mg twice in last five day my choice was percs or oxys about 70- 80 mg. a day for about 3.years it really seems to help my doctor told me if i needed to take a extra 2 mg. i could but tyring not too. i just dont when in the day i should if i take my 8 mg in the late morn by 7 8 pm i can feel the symptoms. doctor says i should take all at one time same time everyday. maybe i am just use to taking some percs in the am and then again in the pm?
I am presently on a suboxone taper. Suboxone is almost identical to subutex. I started on 12mgs. a day in divided doses (6mgs in am and 6mgs in pm)
I was taking approx. 30 5/325 percs. a day. I have been reduced on a weekly basis by 2mg. increments. Presently I am down to 6mgs., so at this rate, I should complete my detox. in approx. 3 weeks. Like you, I noticed that my doc. has now written for me to take my dose, once daily. Actually I think that started at the 8mg. mark. I too am curious and will ask him why, when I see him next wednesday. I feel like I need the dose mostly in the pm. I feel pretty good in the am, but by nightfall, I'm quite edgey. Hope this helps. Let me know how you are doing with this.

what did i say wrong vinny?
you are my hero vinny. such a manly man
Hey Painter,
I am sorry for saying you needed to cool off. I can see here why you were upset. I guess the religious comment was taken wrong and blown out of proportion. I hope you have a nice day.
Oh, Don't sweat Vinny, he's really ok. We are all in the same boat is all and sometimes we just say things we don't mean. This could had been the case with Vinny too. Just can't tell you how many times I've said something I had wished I could take back.

no problem liz,i didnt relize how touchy some people are about certain things
with all due respect Vinny, you might want to be careful here...I was on sub too. Gabbi, Molly and a few others too.
We don't want to attack our recovery choices Vinster. What worked for you might not work for me or others.
all the best,
Redd
