Hi there,
I have a similar experience as you. How is the treatment going? There was somethign wrong and I was unable to read the rest of the thread.You can read about my experiences on this site. I think it IS great that you have a doctor that was able to diagnose you as such. I'm pretty desperately looking for a docotr like that for right now.
Just 2 days ago, in the midst of a VERY VERY severe and long (20 years)depression, I had to start treating myself again with buprenorphine (subutex - I had taken it before and have a bunch left over). I started with .5 mg and then took another .5 mg 30 minutes later.
I was unable to find any other opioids to take and then withdraw from PRIOR to restarting taking bupe.(as you are supposed to) and have been very very sick ever since. I'm taking about .5 mg to 1 mg every 12 hours and things are very bad.
I dont know if I should increase my dose (I'm scared to...) or stop.
Oh, and please dont tell me that was a stupid thing to do - I know it wasn't the BEST option. But my prescribing doctor is basically ignoring me and it was either this or something else....much worse. (When you have suffered with untreatable depression for LITERALLY 2/3 of your entire life, that "much worse" becomes much more viable).
And 4WD, sorry, I didnt' mean to take over your thread with my problems...
I can barely sit at the computer and type cuz of the naseau and I just needed to get it out there while I could...for the moment.
