> It feels amazing but is that sustainable? Wouldn't your receptors burn out or something, and/or you become chemically dependent on the cocktail? Not the bupe but the lorazepam and amphetamine.
If by "sustainable" you mean felt the same way for over two years, then yes, it was sustainable. Receptors don't necessarily automagically "burn out". The lorazepam I was not dependent on because I was only taking it for sleep. I stopped it with one night of insomnia.
Coming off of Nardil was worse than coming off of buprenorphine. There is virtually no withdrawal with the dose of amphetamine (60mg/day) that I take. I recently had to stop it to start Marplan, and I didn't even have to alter my daily routine.
Anyone taking any drug for a prolonged period of time is to some extent physiologically dependent on it; doesn't matter if it's Prozac, Nardil, Oxycontin, whatever.
