> i read through some, you were more in detail, and wrote longer posts, with studies and personal experiences. Talked much about your situation, in details.
>Yes. But I did that now, the other day. See:
https://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20191019/msgs/1107354.html> Opiates, suboxone, they increase your opiod and i think....some dopamine, but im not skilled in knowing about opiates, ..
>Dopamine, yes, absolutely, and in the case of buprenorhine [BUP] (Temgesic, Suboxone), it enhances dopamine through two mechanisms: mu-agonism and kappa-antagonism. BUP is a unique drug, and it can not be compared directly to other opioids.
> but i've taken hydrocodone before, i know that's a low stregth one,
>My impression is that it's stronger than BUP, dose dependently. BUP has a ceiling effect, and is a partial mu-agonist; hydrocodone does not have that property. If you compare per milligram, BUP seems extremely potent, but as I said, it is only a partial agonist.
> but i was more socialable and talked, i had more feeling.
>That's cool!
> Then after i stop taking it kinda went away, depression.
>That is to be expected. Most drugs don't have effects beyond a dose.
> Opiates defintly are anti-depresssants, that is a fact writte in words.
>Absolutely.
> I've gone through so much depression, it's the feeling of nothingness, and no reward, you just ... have your eyes open, and don't feel anything, apathy, or sadness and sorrow, it makes you just...you either want to sleep, you have trouble doing tasks, talking to people,
>Yeah, apathy is my main problem.
> I hope sub, helps,
I'm not on BUP now, and I've never been on Suboxone. I used the Temgesic formulation.
It did help, and I only quit because they stopped prescribing it.
> please keep posting how your doing
I plan to, at least for the short-term future.
