> Do the sedative effects of buprenorphine really fade? (I was told that about benzos too, but a fair amount of sedation remained). Especially, do you feel sedated or 'drugged out' in the morning?
-- I havent noticed much of a sedative effect but then low doses are used for depression compared to narcotic dependenceDo you feel tired through the day?
>
-- No but I get drowsy in the late afternoon but I think that may be just me.> What is the brain fog like?
-- I dont notice any brain fog like some tricyclics or lithium gave me.
>
> Guys: are there any sexual side effects?-- Well from a female perspective, & this is a bit sad, I notice an increase in libido from before the buprenorphine but my partners libido is even lower than mine so cant give you any 1st hand info as to effects with response or orgasm etc.
>> How does buprenorphine affect anxiety?
-- Well, this is a bit of a b*mmer - it doesnt help the anxiety; but being less depressed does some. I still tend to get anxious & my doc wont allow me benzos with the buprenorphine.
