So this is my third time trying to get my shit straight with the help of suboxone. The first two times I really wasn't ready to stop abusing opiates and I just used the subs as a way not to be sick in between binges. For some reason, something finally clicked and with the help of an 8mg strip once a day, I'm coming up on 30 days "clean" from heroin. I really don't want to exchange my heroin habit for a sub habit, so my question to you guys is approximately how long can you use suboxone before you become dependant on them? I know my best bet is to taper my dose before stopping, but do you think a little less then a months use of one 8mg strip a day will cause withdrawals if suddenly stopped? How long have you guys been able to take subs without having any significant withdrawals? Also, I've read conflicting information about suboxone effecting your tolerance. Some people say that their tolerances went down after using subs for an extended period of time, and others say it made their tolerance go up. Can anyone with longer-term suboxone experience tell me how it affected their tolerance to full agonists?
