That was exactly my attraction to opiates.
From what I read you would have a few horrible weeks withdrawing from bupe. But the intensity would depend on the dosage.
I took gabapentin (mainly 300mg/d) for a year or so without adverse effect beyond weight gain until the latest thing. But swelling of the feet is no good....you have to be able to walk. I'm suspicious of it now. And I liked it too. If you have a 14 hour flight, it is quite an escape to take 1200mg. Everything becomes so much more fun. I can even approach those in flight computer and my neighbours with some degree of calm. Not as good as hydrocodone of course. There was a time people talked to each other. Maybe that was when I was more attractive? I had a wonderful chat once to an American who lived in Bangkok and was reading Sodom and Gomorrah from Rememberence of Things Past in French. Now no one says a word.
Rehmannia is Chinese and may possibly have something to do with endogenous steroid production. At any rate it is used for adrenal insufficiency (I think) and autoimmune diseases and fibro. I was told that Tian Wang Bu Xin Wan (of which it is an ingredient) would extend my life, which I took to be their polite way of saying they didn't like my chances at that point.
