\thanks for your kind thoughts. I am still on Suboxone and doing okay. It doesn't work as well as it did in the beginning and they have just lowered my dose as well.
The trouble is that it treats my depression beautifully if I take enought - 6 2mg pills a day or some days I need or 8 pills a day. but they had me on 6 only. And now are lowering it to 4. When I told them that at that dose, it would not help my depression, they told me they could not legally prescribe it for depression - only for addiction and chronic pain. So I don't know what to do. Magnify my pain in the hopes that they will raise my dose back up?
Why can't they prescribe it for depression? And if they won't maybe my family doctor could? I've read that anyone with a schedule three license can prescribe buprenorphine so maybe I should go to my family doc and tell him how much it helps with depression but that they won't prescribe enough to keep the depression away.
Thinking about my options.
Thanks for thinking of me.
Marsha
