Hi everyone I have been on on 0.4mcg of Buprenorphine for a couple of months. I almost immediately started to feel depressed. Have never suffered from depression in my life before. My consultant prescribed Trazadone 50mg and has recently increased the dose to 100mg. I feel so very down. Opioids give me insomnia, the Trazadone gives me 3 or 4 hours sleep which is good but is it helping with the depression.
My consultant says Buprenorphine does not cause depression, it helps with depression!!
I cannot take Gaba or Pregab as these drugs made me very ill years ago and I'm panicked to even think about trying them again.
Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
