The more I read about Memantime the more alluring for me it sounds. I think we have corresponded. I believe I found a doctor that will prescribe Subutex for me so I plan on trying to go from now 30-40mg bid Oxycontin to Subutex. And then perhaps adding Memantime to it. If the Subutex does not pan out perhaps adding the Memantime to the Oxycontin instead. For five years I have been fine with an average of 20mg bid and now I need at minimum 30mg at many days 40. I have a difficult time believing this is a tolerance issue. I think it is more likely pain increase. Hard for me to know for sure?I see a lot written on this site about Subutex or Suboxone at low doses for depression but nothing at higher doses? Of course that is not the primary reason I want to try it but it is in the mix. The Mementime would be kind of dual use for me also. Improving cognitive issues and now I am reading the tolerance stuff. I've got a perhaps short time span here when I am not on Lyrica and my brain is functioning better so I need to get off my *ss and get these things started else I won't be able to do it. I realize I can be a pain in the *ss and I apologize once again. I only have a brief interlude here where I am going to be able to function a bit to accomplish any changes so I need to take advantage. As always all input and help is abundantly appreciated.
