I am currently on 8 mg bid of buprenorphine (Subutex). Like Vicodin and most other weak-ish opiates, it's really not doing the job on my bipolar depression. Morphine worked well at 90 mg bid, but that was a different doc in a faraway state. Anybody know about BUP doses (I've read of people taking less than 1 mg daily for depression with success) enough to tell me: am I on too HIGH a dose, not too low? I don't even have a reliable way of cutting tabs (sublingual) up into sub-1 mg doses. I think my doc put me on 8 mg because it is roughly equipotent to the dose of morphine I was on.
