Buprenorphine’s ceiling dose varies from person to person. If it was fixed, then I assure you that we could google the answer in one second. Medical research is all over that kinda thing!

Ironic, what’s with the passive aggression? If you disagree with someone else’s opinion, I suggest you let them know in private. It’s what most adults do.
I take 12mg a day, because if I take under 8mg, I burn through my Suboxone so fast that I go into withdrawals by mid-afternoon. It is also impossible to take it more than twice a day. My prescribing doctor said it’s likely that I have a greater presence of a certain liver enzyme than most people. Because of my freaky metabolism, when I was using I could have 8mg buprenorphine in the morning, and use heroin mid-afternoon with no blockade.
The point I’m making is that, your constant one-size-fits-all advice that you throw around can be dangerous. And if you will only be happy on a forum where everyone agrees with you, then maybe opiophile would be the place. There’s some quality recovery to be found in there!
