Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Wrong dose: Your dose of Suboxone is too low to adequately cover your withdrawal symptoms. You are tapering the dose of your Suboxone and it is not working. You need a higher dose i.e. 8mg twice a day. Talk to your doctor and get some relief from your withdrawals. Best wishes!
