REcently, someone wrote here about studies at McLean hospital, but you probably need to travel to McLean and be hospitalized to talk to a doc about it. At one point, I asked for buprenophine (actually I asked for suboxone and my doc at McLeans said she would consult about it, but parnate turned out to work for me. Remember that buprenopine is an opiate -- longer lasting in your brain than heroin/morphine/ oxycodone -- but still an opiate and like all opiates, tolerance and the need to increase dosage are issues. I was addicted for several years to oxycodone and it kept, for several years, my depression at bay. But eventually, I developed tolerance and it stopped working. I imagine the same thing would happen on buprenorphine.
