From what I have experienced myself and read from others, all opiates including Sub work for depression for a while and then they quit. How many of us opiate addicts have suffered depression all of our lives, and then suddenly when we discovered pain pills we were happy, content, relaxed, on top of the world? That is the seduction that got most of us into this mess.
You were taking 1.3mg 3x a day. Using Sub like that is similar to taking pain pills, because at low doses Sub acts like a short acting opiate. If you had taken enough to be at the ceiling, which is a steady state with no highs and lows (~4mg), you may have had better luck. On the other hand, like ladder said, I dont think getting on Sub is a good idea for anyone but a serious addict given the difficulty in getting off it.
I hope you find a treatment thet works for you. Don’t overlook alternative therapies like exercise, meditation, nutrition and the like. Good luck,
Lilly
