He has used full agonists like oxycodone (he wrote a letter to the American Journal of Psychiatry reporting on some cases where he did this successfully), so he would probably not have a problem with bupe. I'm not sure if he's still seeing patients, though (he's very into his research on omega-3 fatty acids), and he's pretty hard to reach.

dear elizabeth,i am concerned at what amount he will start me out on oxycontin. i know for a fact that 10mg 3xa day will be of no avail. how should i go about telling him this. i have always needed a very high dose of any medication and it will be the same with this one. should i just be honest and tell him i need to start at 20mg and will eventually maybe need to go higher.
thank you
