> Reporting personal success and failure with meds is part of what Babble is for, and I'm still very grateful to Wayne R, wherever he is, for doing so! His reports about naltrexone led me to try it and then buprenorphine, with which it has some properties in common. While naltrexone didn't help, bupe is working where nothing else did.I'd just like to make it clear that me personally, I'm not trivialising WayneR's postings.
I agree that successes on this board - however infrequent - are a real source of inspiration. A good proportion of people on this board are treatment resistant and so it's heartening to hear, for example, the recent Nardil success stories. No doubt these will inspire others to look at alternative treatment options.
If I thought there was no hope for improvement I would be long gone.
I correspond with a couple of people who take Bupe to quite good effect and I am convinced of its efficacy for some people. Perhaps tellingly, they both came across the idea here. I couldn't tolerate the dysphoria.

Indeed. My idiosyncratic responses to various drugs are a constant source of wonder to my pdoc.
