I tried Suboxone for several weeks. I became very anxious on it. I tried it with Amineptine for a little over a week and found that although my mood might have improved a bit the anxiety only continued to get worse. My mind is disorganized, I am not able to think coherently much at all, I am overwhelmed. I stopped this experiment. It was too much. If I even wanted to continue with it I was going to have to fight my insurance company and my doctor made it clear he had no wish to involve himself in helping the effort so we switched back to Avinza because he is adamant that when dealing with narcotics there is a huge problem with generics, variability of how much medication is in each capsule or tab, so he made sure to prescribe one of the few narcotics on my insurance that is not generic. It works fine for the pain and I find that it is calming at least when I first take it. So I have that to look forward to for a time and I need it badly.
As far as taking Suboxone for depression in my estimation it is not as good as other opiates. For me it was quite apparent that my depression worsened after changing from morphine to Suboxone. I started back on some morphine a few hours ago and I can already tell I am calmer. That is my experience with Suboxone. I do better on Morphine or Oxycontin. I have not tried other opiates for any length of time.
Now no one hs been willing to prescribe Parnate for me. So I ordered some myself. I could not find anywhere to order some Procardia at least in gel cap form and am asking for help here.!
Any help!
I have hade numerous spontaneous hypertensive episodes in the past. My old pdoc prescribed Procardia gel caps so I would not have to go to the hospital. I have a blood pressure monitor. I am familiar with the diet and drug contraindications. As bad as I feel I am not looking for more PAIN, physical or mental!
Can anyone help me with the Procardia problem?
I am looking to try Parnate again because it worked in the past when nothing else did. Amineptine did work a few times but not consistently and did not work the last few times I tried it. I do think if I had not been so agitated on the Suboxone I could have had a better judgment about it working with it. Neither drug in my experience has been calming for me so it was not worth continuing the trial. Honestly if I had not had to fight with the insurance agency and order more Amineptine in a small amount for a lot of money, I might have tried it a week or so longer but it was not in me to do it and my doctor was refusing anyway. I get a lot of side effects from Parnate like nervousness, hypotension, not being able to sleep, acne and hypertensive crisis, but it does not bother my physical ailment in my bladder. This is why I am trying it anyway. Everything I have tried in the past few years has bothered my bladder. It only makes sense to try something that worked and did not bother my physical problem in the past.My current need is for Procardia and for assistance as I try this as my mind is worse than ever. I would appreciate any and all input and support in this current endeavor.
Aware I am bouncing off walls. Apologies.
Thank you all in advance.
