Hi, Ed! It seems like a long time since I talked to you.
> When used to treat pain, the minimum dose is usually 0.2mg.
Thanks, I appreciate knowing that.
> What dose are you going to take now?
I'm going to take 0.2 – 0.25 mg once a day in the morning. If I'm awake when it stops working (about 18 hours later), I might take another pill then, even if it's late at night.
I'm also going to take regular holidays from it, which I hadn't done since March. If tolerance is a risk (Is it, with bupe?), I want to keep it in check as much as possible.
Bupe does not seem to help with much of my neurotic anxiety, not even at higher doses. But at the higher doses, I think it did dull some ordinary motivational impulses, which I can use beneficially to "overpower" my anxieties. I'm only putting this observation together now.
So, my anxieties are combatted better at the lower dose, as long as the depression & hostility are taken care of. Interesting.
It's a complex situation, and there's very little guidance. Thanks for all your input.
;-)
