I've been taking it for pain
I've been taking it for pain since November, and it's worked great. I don't know about the addiction part of it, but I know I went from Morphine + Norco to just Suboxone without any problems at all.

Suboxone
I plead ignorance here. What exactly is Suboxone? I hear it in
conjunction with Methadone, which i've been on many years for
heroin addiction. 11 yrs. clean now from Heroin. You ever notice
how when you say your clean & people will automatically say "but
you're on Methadone!" I choose to say clean because the part of
my life that acccompanied the heroin use , is GONE ! Therfore
i'm clean!!!! anyway........ thats a whole nother subject. Is the
Suboxone more for pain or...... is it a maintenance kinda thing?
Feedback please!

To be honest...
To be honest with you I didn't really like suboxone. Don't get me wrong it helped me and is a great drug. But anyways, I used 16mg for about 7months and it would defently curb cravings and help with any w/t's but in the end when comming off of suboxone it was worse of a withdraw (to me) than coming off of an oxy binge. The withdraw lasted it seemed like forever! and what I learned in the end with suboxone is less is actually more. I feel for maintenance suboxone is actually more therapeutic in smaller doses. atleast for me! I know everyone is different.

hey I've been on 24 mg daily now for a few months now and it has been working fine. you should wait until you are sick for it to work properly. I was a ten year user, and I have not used since treatment started. I see an addictionologist twice a month, and I recommend trying this treatment, it has worked where all else failed for me.
