I’m not here to get into a pissing contest with you, but it isn’t just a matter of semantics when you make a statement like that. If you take Bup long enough, you ‘will’ become dependent, but not necessarily addicted. The majority of people who are prescribed this medication are dependent on it, ‘not’ addicted to it. I’m not saying that this dependency can’t develop into an addiction with some individuals, because the potential is there… but to state that everyone will end up abusing Bup if they take it long enough is incorrect. Personally, I always took my Suboxone as prescribed and never even considered abusing it. Different story with a full agonist – I could never, ever (and will never be able to) control my intake. Just isn’t going to happen.
Concerning sobriety… how can you possibly say that someone is not sober when they are able to take their medication as prescribed, no tolerance is built so that ever increasing doses are not needed, and there is no euphoria involved? I think 12 steppers use a different dictionary than I do.
As far as Xanax… I think you may be confusing me with one of the other posters in this thread.
