Sorry for the double post, didn't read all the way through the thread first, but yeah, basically. If the factor I have is correct, my daily prescribed bupe dose - 16mg, though I'm down to 12 on taper now - is like 1,200mg MME. Shit is insane, after I first inducted into a clinic and was set at 8mg/day and it proved insufficient, the doc was pushing like hell to jump me all the way to 24 immediately, at my first dosage consult, and that it "wasn't totally out of the question to go a little higher later on."
Politely told him to fuck off. Knew I was signing up for chemical handcuffs, didn't necessarily want a goddamn sublingual straight jacket. Buuut, I ended up with one anyway lol.
