> FB it's for opiod detox and also is addicting. My FB friend is hooked on it. Horrible time. I just deleted a nursing article with warning about the addictive tendencies of tamadol. I will see if can find it. Phillipa
It is obviously addicting, but there are many people on suboxone for treatment resistant depression. Unlike Ultram you don't have to keep dosing up to get the effects.
This is a good link of a guy who is using it for TRD. Within the thread there are a couple other links about others who are doing the same. The dosing for depression is 2mg or under, where the dosing for addiction withdrawal is around 16mg. The depression suffers never have to go up. We are talking about true TRD cases where people have been shocked and nothing helped. I don't think suicidal depression cares about having to take Suboxone for the rest of their life. The only people I know that complain about the withdrawals are those who never had depression in the first place and just want to get off the med for the sake of being med free.
