Yeah, definately keep me posted on the Bup. Do you know if it is Subutex or Suboxone? Suboxone contains Naltrexone, but it's antagonist properties are only there to keep you from going above the "ceiling" level. So far, that's the only one that is approved in the U.S., but there really isn't a difference between the two. Most people level off at around 8 mg, with a maximum of 32 mg, but unlike other opiates, "the more the better" doesn't apply with Buprenorphine, so find your dose and stay there! Otherwise it can have adverse effects and send your body into withdrawal. You sound like me though; without the opiate, you just don't feel good about life. My family argues that I did that to my own wiring by taking the drugs in the first place, but I know how I felt when I was a teenager on up, until I was 22 and discovered the painkillers. I figured out real quick that they blocked the signals that allow you to feel pain and also triggered the dopamine and endorphins that make you feel good. I did a lot of research on opiates and ecstacy, since most of my friends were getting heavily involved in the latter.
Anyway, sorry to go on and on...I had the flu with pneumonia last week and took a trip to the ER when my fever spiked to 104 with Tylenol. They gave me this cough syrup that supposedly has Codeine in it, but it's called Hycodan (hydrocodon/HOM, whatever that means). Codeine makes me sick, but it doesn't sound like it has Codeine in it. I don't know...I'm sure I'll try it.
Take Care,
Lindsay> wow, that's some story you've got. thanks for sharing it. i did receive the ultram - they did absolutely nothing. i obtained some hydrocodone and have been taking that for the past several days. as always, the effect it has on my mood is profound. to actually be in a good mood is such a wonderful thing. i'm walking on a tightrope though, the jaws of addiction are going to do their thing i'm afraid. my only hope at the moment is that i found an online source for burpenorphine. i ordered 75 0.2mg tablets. hopefully, i'll be able to use that drug successfully. i'll believe it when i see it. i'll keep you posted if you're interested.
