>I have noticed that I feel more raw on the Suboxone as opposed to Oxycontin or Morphine.
This isn't good. I wonder if you're still feeling some sort of withdrawal effects? I switched from codeine to tramadol last week and I had a similar feeling. Tramadol just wasn't hitting 'the place'. I've had the same problem when switching between other drugs of the same class. It should get better in a few weeks if bupe is going to work for you. It may be that morphine and oxy are better painkillers and antidepressants than bupe. Are you able to go back to the ones that work if this trial doesn't work out?
>I need to take the Suboxone when I am not in a flare to evaluate its efficacy and its efficacy with Amineptine or Parnate.
I you can get this flare under control soon. The instills sound very painful.. I don't know how you manage it. Do you have a supply of amineptine? It's something I've always wanted to try. Hopefully the ADs will help with pain control.
>The Suboxone does not dissolve very well, it takes around 45 minutes. I remember when I took Fentora this way it dissolved in a few minutes. Does anyone else have this problem? If I swallow it my understanding is the amount I swallow will not be available in my body as a medicine.
Is it like a wafer or a tablet? There was someone who used to take it up her nose, but I think she was using a lquid form. I don't know whether that's still available, but I think there's a patch that might make things easier. I know it would be too much trouble with the insurance company to switch perparation though. I don't think bupe is absorbed very well from the stomach so what you swallow won't have much effect. You can't go for 45 minutes without accidentally swallowing some, so I wonder if this might be reducing the dose you actually absorb? Is there anything you can do to the tablet to make it dissolve quicker such as crushing or grinding it (I don't know whether that is a good idea, just adding suggestions).
People here are always willing to give their support but you need RL backup for when you have these suicidal thoughts. Is there a T or a pdoc you can contact when you're feeling like this? It sounds as though your depression isn't being well managed at the moment. Are you getting continuity of care from all your doctrs? You seem to have more than one and I wonder if they communicate properly. How soon can you start the ADs, and which one will you choose?
Take care
