It seems that things didn't get better for you until the bupe was added. Is it possible it's just the Bupe? Perhaps, your opiate addiction was a cause of your depression? Just a thought. And, no use changing something when it's working. Congratulations.

> JACKMy opiate addiction was more a result of my depression, but eventually it greatly increased my depression yes. I was depressed before I even began using however. True, things did not got better till the bupe was added. However, I get the feeling that the Nardil was kicking in at the same time. It is hard to explain, but I can just "feel" the Nardil working along with the buprenorphine. Also, I think I have some proof -
On days that I forgot some of my Nardil, say I only ended up taking 45 mg or something, my social anxiety problems increased again. It is as if the bupe is helping me control the depressive-oriented problems, and the Nardil is giving me a boost in the social department. I dunno, it is all conjecture, really. Maybe the Nardil isn't doing anything... but like I said, I seem to "feel" it.
