Hello,

I think it’s good advice to try a lower dose and see how that feels. A lot of patients seem to find "less is more" with suboxone. It has a unique effect that after a certain amount, more doesn’t do anything. When you take 24mg a day, your tolerance is also pushed very high! Suboxone has a very long half life but any pain relieving properties occur in the first 6-8 hours. I would bet that if you work your way down to a lower dose 3x per day you might feel much better. Plus any side effects should lessen at lower levels.

The films are arguably weaker than the tablets in my experience. Maybe ask for the tablets also.

I just wanted to say that this experience by far has not been the norm. Most people switched from the tablets to film report that the films are a bit stronger.
