It’s not that he was switched too early, he was started too late. Contact the prescriber immediately. He’ll probably increase the dose for a short period of time. Also make sure he’s dissolving the tablet under the tongue. If he’s swallowing the pill, it’s inactivated by the liver in what’s called the “first-pass effect.”

Addendum
Nalxone when taken orally has absolutely no pharmacological activity. It is only active if injected. It does not survive the liver’s “first pass effect.” I’ve seen patient need as much as 24mg the first few days. Subutex would be an option, too.
