A short review of the pharmacology of kappa opioid receptors (You know, salvinorin A works by binding to kappa opioid receptors)

The medicine I'm taking right now (buprenorphine),is a kappa antagonist. I'm going to try a heavy dose of Salvia while on it. If that theory about Salvia is indeed correct,it shouldn't work. I'm only heard of a couple people doing this,and the results were inconclusive. By the way,I've noticed a slight anti depressant effect from the buprenorphine that isn't mu opioid related,which supports that paper. This probably belongs more in Other Drugs....

If it was in other drugs it would've been dead and buried by now.

I am very interested in your results.
if the KOR produces the effect - it would have to do it by excitation of a general neural pathway or by dampening fadeout effects of mental frame sets.
I find this salvia effect (all entheogens too) includes a general lengthening of neural signal fadeout, thus expanding the flood of input - seeminly opening dimensions and suporting views of fractals and other mental frame overlay experiences.
I have seen no real indication as to how the KOR does this, but it might do so by increasing or decreasing a circuit "governor" that does generalized signal flow management.
I might expect that smaller amounts of salvia would now get you as far as 1 or 2 levels past what that same dose did for you before.

Hey monamine-
I've noticed a slight anti depressant effect from the buprenorphine that isn't mu opioid related
Is it not mu-opioid related b/c you can tell physically or b/c you assume?
Buprenorphine does stimulate mu-opioid receptors to a certain extent (ceiling effect) and this could be responsible for your rise in mood. Although an experienced opiate user could tell the difference(between any mu or different-receptor effects), and I'm assuming you are one, b/c of your script.
Are you using buprenorphine for maintenance? If so I'd love to hear how it is going. If not, then how'd you get a script? Also, if you aren't using for maintenance, then buprenorphine would have a very different affect on you then me. I'd be very interested to hear anything about how it is going. Thanks bro.
