PRIMER:
There have been a few small-n studies and anecdotal reports on drbob and google groups that have shown buprenorphine to be amazingly effective for treatment refractory (tried all the ssris, snris, maois) depression. Furthermore, YES, hydrocodone and all those pleasant painkillers -- when i take them -- they make me think "that this must be what "normal" feels like." no social anxiety, calling up old friends, positive outlook on the world. seeing as i have probably 50 assorted hydrocodone and percocet sitting in my drawer right now untouched for a long while, i seem to not have the "addiction gene" and am able to modulate that aspect of my behavior so i'm not too worried about that. however, i am worried about the tolerance thing, and that's where "bupe" with its mixed ag/antag properties might be able to helpful. whatever the case, i really would like to get some buprenorphine, to at least try to reverse the place i find myself (forever) in. currently, i'm a young, virile, handsome, smart college student who sits alone in his dorm all day -- u get the idea? Only when alcohol or what have you (painkillers too) enter the picture do I enter the social scene, and I feel terrific for that short space of time, but have to "recover" for days afterward. anwyay, my "plan" is to get like a month's worth of buprenorphine at perhaps .5mg to 2 mg a day (not sure on dose), try it out, and if i keep having to escalate it (after trying co-dosing it with ketamine and a TINY dose of a mu-antagonist, both ways of attenuating the tolerance response) i'll give up on this potential cure for my problemos.
