> Buphrenopine is used by one of the docs in mines practice and there's another one too. For opiate addiciton would that help depression if SSRI's SSNRI's don't work? Love Phillipa
Hi,
If I could get a script, I would try buprenorphine in a minute. My depression is treatment resistant, atypical, double depression (dysthymia is always there when not in major depression) with social and generalized anxiety. Nardil is the only medication that has ever really made a dent in it. Prescription opioids have always provided a lift in my mood. Hey, maybe I can fake an opiate addiction and get it that way. Just kidding, but its a thought.
Take care,
