I've been on Buprenorphine (subutex) for almost 1 yr. with no abuse at all and I am a recovering alcoholic. I never crave it or take "extra" however I will have physical withdraw if I go too long without my dose. I probably don't take enough...I take 1 mg. 2 times per day. It is the only thing that took the teeth out of my depression, but it hasn't put it in remission. My pdoc calls me bi-polar, but my mania is agitation and mild hypomania, but I subsist in depression. Opiates are a definite in my arsenal.
