Suboxone Microdosing Forum topic

Hello all, I am seeking advice about Suboxone microdosing as a technique to covert MMT clients to BMT. I have used microdosing to initiate Suboxone in OUD clients who are not in withdrawal due to recent opiate use. This process has gone relatively smoothly, I used the schedule as per Vancouver Costal Health. When I tried to do similar with clients who were on Methadone, I had trouble at a dose higher than 4 mg. One of my clients was stable on MMT and the dose at 65 mg.  He was having some constitutional symptoms that I hoped would improve with the switch.
