This is how I feel on long term bupe, especially without any cannabis or other drugs.
The first 2hrs after taking my buipe consist of just me coming to a feeling of "feeling normal & semi-emotionally stable" and then after that, I'm really tired, apathetic, lethargic & anhedonic. Usually for the rest of the day or until I take a nap.
Yeah that was the case( except tramadol which is weak , never tried full-agonist like oxy, heroin, hydro funny story)when I was on 8mg and that time I worked as a store manager so I took half in morning and the other when I got home for lunch and the other half always had me tired nodding so I remember I was at the time asking what is with this bupe? and I need to get of of this thing? I neither feel normal I'm just drugged more than I ever was and in daytime!
So found another psych, well I need to mention I wasn't that innocent cause of GHB and Phenibut(it helped me but psych didn't knew anything about it) addiction or dependance I was on high doses of benzos like 4x2 xanax xr daily, which cognitive wasn't funny while dealing with numbers and people and sheets et cet...
I'ts been a week or two since I posted in this thread and what I also now see is cannabis I start taking in the last stages of my taper I just couldn't deal with fybro which is new and a lot of dealing on my own.
Sorry for little draag!
Meaning sometimes the tasks in my head are just scrambled or lost in voices so I don't smoke much but It was a silver bullet, till I noticed that I need something with bupe and pregabalin
I take 300mg now also trying to get- off. but I became lazier with weed and prior meaning when I was smoking 10years ago it was more psychedelic and than always what I loved and still love is weed gives me that slap in head like saying to me: (you lazy fuck clean the dishes, vacum, change the fluids in car,) well I'm alone now in a big house most of the time( daughter is with me every other day) new gf is milenial( not generalization but 1% of conservative mind wouldn't bother)
So now those whole years taking the buprenorphine made me apathetic to even weed effects( of course is a matter of quality of strain) but here not that you have big choice apart from looking yourself and knowing the difference.
So being said that I have adult ADHD as only diagnosis I have permition to seek sources within EMA for Dextroamphetamine or Lisdexamphetamine( Elvanse), because Concerta works only in high doses with me and I start to not care about anything and also I tried dextro and saw the difference.
What I'm trying to say is that I stopped Concerta and the general feelings overwhelmed me!
I lit a joint a week ago and I was focused and creative and than day after weed made it worse, just in how much stuff I make done!
I seem to had problems with my pregabalin dosing while working at home also in last two weeks while on weed I was taking 300mg more at night just to relax more!
So it appeared and it's thread-wise I'm talking in weeks but I observed myself last year shifting between stims and weed and I need one or the other to function while on stims I make some more work done I seem to get more depressed, while on weed I'm more grounded but again in couple days depressed because of layziness.
So i rotate now and I have app. rescheduled cause my psych was on sick-leave and she knows about this theory I showed her the results, we tested my blood and we need to do it one more time for testosterone levels (thyroid) on top of that.
Because I know that I have ADHD as many other people around me, but I don't think it's that serious when weed gives me focus almost like stims, making low level bupe last more, and stims do it in the same but diff. subjective feeling of time, like time is going faster on stims and slower on weed while in both perception of times I don't think of meds!
