> well, with my ibs-c, i can now safely say i'll never be able to even try bupe.

Now I wish I hadn't posted only my experience. In the bupe enclosure literature, of 210 people who took *16* mg per day (!) of buprenorphine, only 10% (21) had constipation problems in the first 4 weeks.

Of course, they were already heavy opioid users (addicts)...

Some people who use bupe for depression use VERY small doses effectively, like 0.2 mg per day. It might be possible to titrate up very slowly from even smaller doses using a liquid solution and avoid peristalsis problems.

Also, the AD effect is immediate. A person could take it only every other day, if necessary.

But I know IBS is nothing to fool with. I'm sorry.

> i smoked opium only once back in the day. wowzer. but, it was just TOO good

I've never used another opioid, so I can't compare. Buprenorphine doesn't even make me feel "good" like caffeine can. Just non-depressed and non-despairing.

Thanks for replying, pulse. Good luck.
