Sally:
The Buprenex Ampules under discussion here contain 300ug Buprenorphine each, correct? In my humble opinion, that is not a very large dose at all.
Schering-Plough recommends a starting dose of 0.6mg to 1.2mg total Temgesic intake per day.
Six (6) Amps a day is very close to this recommended dosage.Bup exhibits a 'Ceiling Effect', and as such is somewhat self limiting.
Although I agree that it can be addicting, it is a very small Monkey, compared to full agonist opioids.
I sent you an e-mail on the subject, hope you received it.
