Bupe switching to sub & on trazodone for depression

Should I Try To Get On Subs?

Hi, so I'm currently on Trazodone 50mg, which i was put on almost a month ago for sleep. Im also on klonopin which im trying to taper off. I dont know what is causing this but yesterday and today (i only went from .5 to .375 kpin) i have been feeling really depressed, hopeless and havel ike sucicidal thoughts. I rarely, ever never have this kind of shit and I dont know what to do.

Im giving into my depression by buying diesel, and I dont want to do it. Im trying so hard to not but its the only thing that is helping my depression for now. I also have this weird inner head pressure constant just about every day, if not everyday. Im hoping that is from ear, nose, throat stuff but i really dont know. But that, with my Dp, this new hopless/depression, everything is just causing me to feel so shitty.

I dont know if its cause i stopped trazodone for like 2 days, or that I took st johns wort with trazodone for the past month or... idk but it sucks and im normally not like this. I get so scared when my brain starts to think sucidally like that, because thats not me. Even in a shittier day, i dont think that.

But what im basically asking here is should I go get suboxone, or try to get prescribed it? I mean when im taking that, it helps my cravings definitely, and definitely elevates my mood and controls anxiety. I want to do it, but I dont know how to go about doing it, and finding a doctor that will do it. I think i qualify for it if im like ex-abuser/addict going back to it because i am trying to self medicate my depression. But should I say that? I really wanna do this.. help

Suboxone is for opiate addiction, not benzodiazepine addiction. No doctor will prescribe you it for benzo addiction.
From reading your other posts I think you really need someone to help you through this on your end, have you any friends or family you can talk to?

im only on benzos because i thought i needed them. i want to get off thrm before its too late. idk if u missed the point, but the point was im going back to mu old opiate ways and i feel getting bupe to control my cravings for self-medicating depression would work. it elevates my mood, stops cravings, and stops anxiety

neither opiate nor benzodiazepine addiction is good, but I would rather go with opiate (in the form of buprenorphine, no less) addiction over benzo addiction....

If you're addicted to benzos I'd really recomend you don't get addicted to opiates too now that you've got one addiction to keep up with.
As you're not on a high daily dose of opiate no doctor or clinic will prescribe you suboxone. You can go and buy some, but it won't help with any of the physical benzo withdrawal.

Im addicted to benzos in the way that I am physically addicted, but I've only been on it for a year. I just recently learned how bad it can be if u continue with klonopin for a certain period of time. So i want to stop, i just dont know if all these feelings just sprung up, or have to do with medications and what not. But I would much rather take an anti-depressant that works (bupe), even if its not an "anti-depressant", rather than one that will not make me feel better. I tried an ssri and that made me so much worse... look at this article

I know that opiates have antidepressant activity, I'm an addict myself. If you're wondering if opiates would help with your depression, I'd say yes. Is that your question?

I know opiates will help depression because they release dopamine, etc. when you do them. But Bupe isnt the same. If I took bupe/sub it wouldn't be like me doing heroin or that all the time. Im just saying id rather take suboxone over heroin or some other drug to help my depression, or anti-depressant that backfire.
