I agree that a dependence on suboxone can happen. Addiction to it. Just no way. It just doesn't work. What I think as a dependence is someone who needs some little pill to take that makes it all better. Just have to have something more than vitamin water. The bup does do something as in feeling normal. So off the pills and feeling normal is what we are after. I'm having an equal problem quitting cigarettes. I buy lollipops. Just something to stick in my mouth and suck on that makes me feel better than power smoking another cig.Anyone buying this analogy?
