Hi Liligoth.
Thanks very much for your posts. It is great to see that buprenorphine works so well for you. I hope that the benefit lasts - isn't tolerance an issue for these drugs?
I don't think I've ever tried strong pain killers (opiates/opioids). I seem to have a high tolerance to physical pain (probably I'm just distracted by mental pain all the time). Also, I've successfully avoided the dentist for many years.
I'll give the Reboxetine a fair chance, but if it fails, buprenorphine seems to be my last throw of the dice.
Best,
Nohope
> Hi Nohope, I answered your bupe questions elsewhere but forgot to add your name in the subject line (still new to this). Anyway, just wanted to say there is hope! Like you I had tried everything except the ECT & that was looming on the horizon as I was in a very severe depression. Then I tried the bupe & it was truly miraculous - within 1 day I felt just about normal again! Over the next few weeks it has just continued to improve me. It may well be worth a try - have other pain killers made you feel better? That would give you a reliable indication that the bupe would work for you.
