Hi Scott.Yes I tried Ultram,right before going to the Buprenorphine.It did nothing for me except relieve the achiness I felt while depressed. I am taking a compounded sublingual troche 2mg 4 x's daily. The spacing usually goes something like this 8am,12noon,4pm and 8pm. Ihave gone up as high as 12mg and as low as 6mg. I think it has alot to do with how fast the troches melt under your tongue. Sometimes if my mouth is very watery they melt so fast that alot gets wasted.When that happens I take an extra one.On the other hand if my mouth is dry it seems I feel every bit of the effects. I live in a very warm climate and perhaps the heat has something to do with it. Why do you ask? Are you about to give it a try? Are you one of the very few of us who respond to opiates in such a way that it seems to be the missing link in your chemistry? If so,I wish you lots of luck.It seems that many on this board have had a hard time finding a docotor willing to try this.My doctor is pretty openminded but no pushover. I had to do alot of the research myself. And he monitors me pretty closely but also trusts when I tell him about the inexact sublingual absorbtion. Yes, I am concerned about tolerance and addiction but I am more afraid of going back to way I felt 6 months ago.So, what's your story? Any opiate history? Have you tried all the other families of antidepressants? Bee
