> One caveat: there's nothing wrong with the way you're using the OC, but if you try to d/c it too rapidly you *will* get withdrawal symptoms, and these can be bad especially for depressives. One thing I really like about buprenorphine is the absence of serious withdrawal symptoms.
My understanding from my doctor is that the OC is a permanent part of the developing cocktail--not for just temporary use while changing ADs. It will be interesting to watch my pattern, i.e., if I will need to go up in time, or if I am able to keep the 10mg bid dose. The time release of OC is a solid tablet. If I tried to get off, I would probably switch to hydrocodone first, so I can taper the dose.Shelli
