^ Again, that low RC Cell count doesn't mean he was on supressants. It means he was probably malnourished, and subconsciously inhibiting the activity of his kakuhou.

Remember, during the fight with Serpent, as Haise his kagune was simplistic and weak, and his ability to heal was impaired. The moment Kaneki took over, both Serpent and the Qs realized he was like a different person. Serpent remarked that his kagune was "much sharper" and "almost on a new level". That change won't suddenly occur if the reason for Haise's previous weakness was drug suppression. We saw the exact same thing play out during the Auction and the Tsukiyama Operation.

Remember, Haise's treatment had two levels. One was as a human with ghoul abilities, but the other was as an SS-rated ghoul should be go berserk. They use RC Suppressants on him then because his RC count spikes, which is why you see that extreme change in his ghoul powers in every one of those instances.
