John,
Some people like me have found it habit-forming. Others like Elizabeth have been on it for several years without needing to raise the dose. (You have to remember that many ADs, effexor and others, are also habit-forming.) I believe that my need to keep raising my dose has to do with my history of high doses of oxycontin, given by a pdoc last year to battle TRD. I do know that bupe is an easier drug to get off of than full opiates.
