Gday,
According to Dr J in his discussion on Pain Management, once you reach the “Suboxone ceiling"
(( your 99% there at 4 mg’s))
your opiate tolerance is equal to about 60 mg’s Oxy or 90 mgs of Morphine and because of Suboxone’s static tolerance it doesn’t change over time. So, whether you’re on 8 mg’s or 32 mg’s for 2 months or 2 years it doesn’t change. Of course when dealing with pain management there’s other things to consider like the stacking effect and the high receptor affinity of Bup, but as far as tolerance goes I think he pretty much answers your question.
Cheers, Subie
