Hey sweet,

The depression that may accompany opiate wd is certainly hard to deal with. More and more, we’ve been seeing people opting to start on an antidepressant before they kick Suboxone, that way the antidepressant has had time to kick in and it’ll hopefully address the depression that can come with opiate wd.

I know when I quit Hydrocodone back in 1999, it was the absolute crushing depression that made me go back to Hydrocodone. I made it 30 days with no Hydro’s, but I just could not take the depression.

Thank God, when I quit Suboxone, the depression was minimal.

If I were you, I’d look into some kind of antidepressant OR just slow your taper down and give your mind/spirit and body more time to adjust. Taking that extra .125mg was a good thing. It may be your body telling you to slow down. I know it took my brain a LONG time to adjust to not having any opiates. Give yourself time, OK?

I hope you get to feeling better soon.
