yep, i have to agree...300mg of wellbutrin is max. it seems you have tried everything under the sun and turned to opiates as a last resort. if it is working, who am i to challenge that. if it works, it works. do keep your usage steady, however, as i know you know the "pitfalls". and as for the medical profession having a pre-existing opinion, of course they do. that is because so many of them have seen people fall into the depths of dependancy. i think you are smart enough to see a clearer picture though. and by the way, you are right, they DO see a difference between physical pain and mental pain. with all the strides in understanding mental illness, you'd think they should know better..many, many numbers of people have been on opiates for the long term without any problem for physical pain. why is emotional pain any different? because they can't see the blood. they can't back themselves up with an MRI. no proof to exonerate them. but i'm sure you know this...
