Thanks, sigi. I think rehmannia, that is Chinese? I might be confusing it with rhodilia, which is maoi contradicted.
Yes, I think the kappa activity is the antidepressant quality. That is the sum depth of my knowledge.
So it would be more difficult to discontinue than hydrocodine?
I disliked how it set my pain clock. By the end of my use, it was every four-five hours, and I would be looking at my watch. I didn't really escalate past a certain point because more did not do more and made me very dumb. Plus I did not want to. I wanted to work within that ceiling. But the crap I took from doctors was humiliating at times.
Really, I found tramadol was superior for mood and pain.
I am still mulling this over. Gabapentin is just stupefying. My doc wanted me to take more. He still does. But I do not feel good past 900mg. But that stuff sets my pain clock, too. I don't think there is a way around that when using medication.
I took a hydrocodine two weeks ago. Five milligrams. It felt very freeing. It was easy to move, I felt peaceful, the world was tolerable. I decided to just enjoy the few hours and not try to make it last. I still have this crazy big bottle left from when I quit. I was having a crappy day and said f*ck it.
I dig a pony.
