Adam,
You might do a search on opiates and buprenorphine.
I was on oxycontin for depression and I definitely developed a tolerance for it. I really didn't have a hard time, though, detoxing from it in a couple of days. But my depression returned full force. Now I am on buprenorphine and seem also to be developing a tolerance. Yet it's definitely worth it to me because my depression is very physical and painful and nothing else seems to work. On the other hand Elizabeth has been on buprenorphine for quite a while (along with effexor) and has not developed a tolerance to it. BTW, I am also trying lamictal which I hope will stop my need to keep going up on buprenorphine.Anyway, there's a lot of threads about it through the years, in fact even this year.
