Hi Philippa,
Yep, that's true .
I mentioned buprenorphine on occasion but my paindoc didn't like the idea because of drowsiness issues.
For the same reason he doesn't like to prescribe lyrica.
Reading this board trivastal seems like a good bet for me now.
Last time I saw him he prescribed wellbutrin, which I couldn't handle; trivastal (which seems to do the same as wellbutrin) looks like a better alternative given the fact that there is no risk of seizures (with the other meds that I use) and doesn't place such a load on the liver.
Best regards,Robert
