I understand completely, thank you for your reply, and if I were not an addict myself I would feel the same way, but after years of taking opiates to self medicated I became physically dependent. I started the suboxone to gradually move to another AD because I was tired of being in "that type of situation" even if it did help my depression. It wasn't a legal solution and that is not how I want to live my life. It was only after I started the treatment that I realized the suboxone treated my depression just as well if not better.That also led me to the knowledge that there have actually been studies done concerning depression and this medication. Studies that had postive results! When I realized I wasn't the only one to have the same results with the drug I started to research it further which led me to my present state of mind: this is a good treatment for certain people with depression and it should continue to be researched in that regard.
