I suffer from chronic pain for many years. This is a miracle drug. I only have to take one a day compared to many narcotics daily that didn't even work. I use to take suboxen for 2 yrs because I was tired of the problems with other narcotics. My Dr is trying to save me some money, so he wrote for the buprenorphine which is the other half of suboxen. I was wondering without the naloxen (other half of suboxen) can I easily come addicted to the buprenorphine? I have no cravings or desire to mis-use this drug.

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: IT IS POSSIBLE TO BECOME ADDICTED TO BUPRENORPHINE, SO MAKE SURE TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN AND DON'T CHANGE YOUR DOSE, FREQUENCY OR MANNER OF TAKING IT. THIS IS NOT A HIGH RISK.
