I’ve actually yet to see one study on post-Suboxone outcomes that comes close to representing how people really do their tapers on this forum.
Every study I have read has a fixed schedule, one-size-fits-all, you sign up you’re on Sub for 3-5 months ONLY and you’re following our routine. You have zero say in your own treatment schedule.
People then quote the outcomes of said studies as a rationale behind life-long-maintenance. Cmon??!
There are limits in the whole randomised double-blind study model, and this is one of them.

They wanted the medication—that’s what they were there for,� reflecting the sense of excitement that has been prevalent in the patient community about the availability of Suboxone to treat opioid dependence. |
Wow. Like 12step224 said, it doesn’t seem like the subjects were all that recovery minded.
