I want to try this, and was wondering if anyone has some sort of scale I can work with. I assume the amount of buprenorphine you have to take to fend off withdrawal is obviously contingent upon the amount of opiates you habitually take, but is there some kind of guideline out there? If I am taking X amount of hydro a day, I will start out with Y amount of buprenorphine? Or should I just try out what works? I'm getting ready to start my doctorate, and would really like to have the hydro thing in control by the fall. Does anyone have some advice?
