A chart is chart : A chart may be helpful in planning a Suboxone taper. However, individuals are different and so are doctors. A doctor may have a better strategy not accounted for by a chart. A chart cannot account for pharmaco- genetic, dynamics and kinetics. The same applies for many man made guidelines which neglect many.
