Take as prescribed : Dosing can vary greatly amongst individuals and your doctor will make that determination. It also depends on what goals have been set (i.e. Detox, maintenance). Precipitated withdrawal is a real concern and you should make certain the transition takes place under the direction of an experienced physician.

Methadone & Subutex: You need to stop Methadone for several days and be in full withdraw for subutex induction. Mixing Methadone and subutex would cause withdrawal.
The dosage for subutex will be determined by your doctor during the induction.
Please see a doctor asap and discuss your need.
