Suboxone is very useful, I was on it for a couple of years a while back. It was hard to cut down on and get off, in terms of physical discomfort for me, but I did it. But if life is going well, there is not any major reason to discontinue while under medical supervision.

I found, that with me, it strangely seem to somewhat increase the beneficial effects of stimulants drugs. My advice, if you have a formula that works for you, why tinker with it? Good on you

Suboxone was by far the worst and longest detox I've ever had. But it's better that a needle or pills you can OD on I guess.
