Hi. I learned about buprenorphine for depression by reading a post on this forum. Now, my pdoc has just prescribed it to me, and I have a couple questions for people currently taking bupe.First, I was wondering what side effects you experienced on taking the first dose. I would especially like to hear from people who had never taken an opiod prior to bupe. The literature suggests that it isn't well tolerated and I'll have to get used to it.
Second, is the effect (if any) really noticable within a couple hours of taking the med? That seems awfully fast.
Finally, a logistical issue. I'm supposed to take .25mg of Subutex for my first dose, but the 2mg Subutex seems hard to break into eighths. Is there a precision tool I can use to do it without turning the tablet into powder?
I'd also like to hear any general thoughts from people who are on bupe for depression so I know what to expect. Thanks.
