opioids: dose/response relation?

Posted by pseudoname on March 19, 2006, at 11:01:24

Do those of you who take an opioid for depression notice that when your depression is worse it helps to take more of it?
I've been taking 0.5 mg of buprenorphine (Subutex) twice a day for depression. The last several days, though, my depression has been stratospheric. So I've been upping the dose. Yesterday I took probably 3 mg altogether.
It *seems* to take more bupe on really bad days, but when it kicks in, it works the same as ever. But maybe I would've felt better anyway.
There are a handful of us here. Please tell me your experience. Thanks.
