Re: hydrocodone or tramadol for depression

Hi all,
I posted in June that I was on 8mg/day of Subutex (buprenorphine). I've lowered it to 4mg/day in two doses (2mg upon waking and again at midday). It's still working well, but it makes my hands, feet, (everywhere else) sweat, along with a subjective sense of being very uncomfortably hot, esp. following physical activity, even in a very cool environment. A slice of fresh ginger about the size of a nickel or a 1-euro coin, taken with water before breakfast daily, has mostly eliminated this problem.
Anybody else out there had this problem with opioids, esp. BUP? benadryl(yuck, makes me too spacey) helps, but I'm still made very uncomfortable/embarrassed by the sweating. Any ideas/info (my pdoc doesn't know much about opioids, another doc prescribes the BUP) would be MUCH appreciated.

Cheers,
Matt
