Good morning! I slept well last night and got up without breathing problems. I couldn't even trigger them by pinching my nose. :D

Well, you have hit on it.
I left out of my posts yesterday (and I didn't get a CHANCE to tell the doc) that because the buprenorphine has been working and I've been relieved from depression for the first time in DECADES...
I have a $h*+load of new pressures. In fact, earlier in the evening of the breathing problems, I was going through some of the most stressful hours of my life. This has happened a lot in recent weeks as I feel more hopeful and energetic and turn my attention to financial and personal problems that I've been letting slide for years.
My life is still in crisis, but I can't ignore the problems anymore like I did when depressed.
Hours before the breathing problems began, I was at crisis-level stress. I was thinking, "Even if I'm not depressed, I can't solve these problems! I'm doomed!"
THEN I thought of an old friend / businessman that I could ask for advice, and waves of relief went through me. I started thinking, "Hey, maybe this *can* be solved ....er, somehow."
THEN the breathing problems started.
I know, LOL: people are saying, "Why didn't you mention this before?!"
