Thanks for all your input. I understand that buprnorphine is a kappa opioid antagonist and a mu agonist. Thus, one would get less respiratory depression and more of the "mu" effect (the mu effect is also found in Vicodin and Fentanyl, whereas in morhine and percocet the kapppa effect predominates). Elizabeth, were you taking the buprnorphine for depression? If so, what else were you taking and did you have a positive result? Thanks again.
