I have been on suboxone for almost 8 years. what's your opinion about remaining on it indefinitely.?

It Depends: With any treatment, one should weigh both the risks and benefits. Also, and perhaps particularly for opiate addiction where relapse can be fatal, one needs to weigh the risks and benefits of not having treatment (suboxone). Factors which should considered in deciding how long to stay on Suboxone include the duration of the abuse, the daily dose, the route (iv?, ), family history as well as others.

Suboxone: Several factors come into play here in making that decision, which should ofcourse be discussed with your prescribing doctor, such as duration of dependency, how the Suboxone is taken, daily dose, etc.

I support it!: That's truly one of the best parts of suboxone-- there is no medical reason that you have to taper or come off suboxone. Of course, it goes without saying that your first choice would be to not have to take suboxone. But, that's not a realistic option for most people so its really best to think of taking Suboxone like a diabetic that has to take insulin. No one wants to but what's the choice?
