What we have to start acknowledging is that it really is OK to stay on Suboxone if it works for you. What is the big hurry to come off. Relapse is high. So while I understand the hesitancy to not want to be "dependent" on anything for the rest of your life, it's one of the main factors that is GIVING you the rest of your life. I think it is a hang up for all of us, but I for one am moving past that. Anyway, that is what my doctor finally got thru my head and I had an aha moment!
