> My pdoc is considering giving me Suboxone for depression and codeine addiction, so I'm interested if it had any effect on your mood? I too am worried about Suboxone causing withdrawal effects. I don't think it would be much of a problem if you've only taken one dose though. Darvon is a very weak opiate, so I'm surprised it would satisfy cravings that Suboxone wouldn't. What dose did he prescribe? Bupe has one of the highest binding affinities among opiates, so other opiates aren't supposed to have much effect if you take them together.

I've used OTC codeine containing products for years as a 'maintenance' therapy, and I think they might acutally be stronger than Darvon, depending on the preparation. I haven't had many problems besides stomach irritation from the ibuprofen contained in one of them, and tolerance.
Hi Q,I guess you used 'nurofen plus'? I wonder what dose? i too have found Codeine helpfull and used to take it when it was splitable. Any feedback helpfull?.
