Buprenorphine for depression?
I had the same experience when I started taking Hydrocodone (Vicodin) for
back pain. My doc explained that it is probably due to the euphoria caused
by opiates. Of course in our case, it's not euphoria, it just brings us back
to normal. I've since started a low dose of amitryptilline in addition to
the Vicodin which helped trememdously, and I'm now weaning from the Vicodin.
