> My pdoc is considering giving me Suboxone for depression and codeine addiction, so I'm interested if it had any effect on your mood? I too am worried about Suboxone causing withdrawal effects. I don't think it would be much of a problem if you've only taken one dose though. Darvon is a very weak opiate, so I'm surprised it would satisfy cravings that Suboxone wouldn't. What dose did he prescribe? Bupe has one of the highest binding affinities among opiates, so other opiates aren't supposed to have much effect if you take them together.

I've used OTC codeine containing products for years as a 'maintenance' therapy, and I think they might acutally be stronger than Darvon, depending on the preparation. I haven't had many problems besides stomach irritation from the ibuprofen contained in one of them, and tolerance.

That's weird. I typed like an hour long response to you and it didn't go up for some reason......

Darvon + Suboxone is working! I think suboxone chemically alters your brain so it becomes less effective over time. The darvon supplements it well.

In the beginning before I got on suboxone I was suicidally depressed after quitting dope. Suboxone saved my mood, my addiction cravings, and everything. It's a miracle at least in the beginning.

While darvon is weak in terms of relieving PAIN, it's strong in terms of satisfying cravings, adding euphoria. I think it has to do with the receptors it binds to, such as kappa mu and stuff. It's sort of different than the others.

Should I go on methadone? Will this Darvon + sub precip withdrawal you think? Thanks guys.
