No offense, but every time someone abuses suboxone they make it a little bit harder to obtain for the people who actually need it. Don’t allow yourself to become physically addicted to it because the withdrawals last 12 very long days where you will be in absolute agony. look up “opiate withdrawal symptoms” if you want to see what that would be like. I promise you don’t want that, right around the 6th day when you think it’s about to get better it starts to get worse and worse.
