Hi. I recently stopped taking 180 mgs. of OxyContin twice a day. I had been on that dose for eleven years. I'm now taking 8mgs of Subutex 3x a day. I'm getting some pain relief but I'm still at a 7 for my average pain scale. When I was on the OxyContin I was at an average 10 pain for the last 21/2 years. That is why I went off it. My main question is what is the max dosage of the Subutex I can take a day? Thank you so much.

From what I've read, the maximum daily dose of Buprenorphine (Subutex) is listed at 32mgs. So with your current dose being 8mgs 3x daily, you're one more dose away from the maximum.

If you're also interested in reading other patient reviews, there happens to be another discussion thread here on this same topic, that you can have a look at in the meantime: Discuss/maximum-dose-of-Suboxone-subutex-chronic-pain-187212.htm

Have you already talked with your doctor about upping the dose?
