> I asked for suboxone once when I was in a hospital and they considered it. As it turned out, they put me on parnate and it worked. I am actually glad. Suboxone is an opiate. You build up tolerance and can't get off it, like methadone. Psychic pain is awful and trumps physical pain, I know. But opiates are bad news. Some people find tramadol helpful and that's the least addictive of opiates. But it's still an opiate and keeping on scrip with an opiate is hard. Tolerance builds quickly, doctors get suspicious, the FDA investigates them. Bad news all around.
Everyone is so different. I'm glad parnate helped you baseball, I truly am. And I know it's helped *lots* of people. Nardil helped me a while until side effects forced me off of it. But parnate gave me Rhabdomyolysis and almost killed me. Tramadol did nothing but make me irritable. Everyone has a lot of advice to give, and that's one of the wonderful things about babble, but in the end, we have to remember that each one of us is different and that different people will react differently, sometimes very differently, than someone else, to the same medication. (And my high school English teacher would berate me for the overuse of the word 'different' in that sentence :))

Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
