thanks for your response L2L. i haven't had any tests for my dopamine receptors yet... but my psychiatrist who is administering the suboxone has told me my neurochemistry seems to be leveling out. now, i am going to see a psychiatrist on friday who specializes in psychosomatic manifestations. he will be able to tell me a lot more and will probably want to look at all the factors you mentioned (i.e. dopamine receptors, medical interaction, etc...). so i will see what he has to say
thanks a lot guys,
Mikky
