I have been treated for depression with Buprenorphine (2 mgs four times daily)for almost two years. But in the past few months have noticed my concentration has deteriorated and am a bit concerned about memory as well. Some days it doesnt seem to be working at all, and I feel as if I'm just wandering in circles.This is so disappointing because it was such a life saver at first. Some of you may remember my earlier posts touting it. I really don't want to get involved with a cocktail situation but if that's what is necessary, I would. If any one else is taking buprenorphine for depression I would like to know if you have had poop out at some point, and if so what did you do? Add something for concentration? Start from scratch? Help! I especially miss reading. It's all I can do to get through a New Yorker article. My situation is compounded by living on a third world island where mental health is not a big priority. I may have to come back to the U.S. to sort this out. But if I had some feed back from you all and could share it with my Pdoc back home we could work it out long distance. I have a call into him but wanted to check with the board too. Thanks all. Bee
