> > > I was titrated upto a dose of 2mg (I think, could have been 4mg, sure it was 2mg though, lol. 8mg tabs split 4 ways.) and took it sublingually (under the tongue) about half hour before bed along with my Clonazepam and Seroquel. I knocked out quickly and slept like a baby, awaking feeling alert and fresh. The reason I took it a night was beacuse of the instant side effects, blurred vision, feeling (slightly and nicely) high, and general sedation. It felt very much like when I smoked Heroin in a roll up one time.

I have ordered some Temgesic tablets, which are 0.2 mg buprenorphine (sublingual). Assuming I actually get them, I am going to try low doses to augment my antidepressants. I'll post and let everyone know if it works or not.

> Yes BGB, if I were taking such small doses as 0.2mg then yes, I would be able to take them in the day time. They have a half life of 12 hours, so say if you take it at 12am before bed expectto take it again at 12 midday. I took it oncea day, but I spsoe you could split the daily dose and have half of it at a time... See how you fair?
