opiates are making a comeback for mood disorders. I think now that docs admit that SRIs suck and old antidepressant also suck, there's finally some willingness to branch out and see what the options are.
If you can find a doc who does treatment-resistant depression or has a good rep, you might be able to get an RX. for bupe, the doc has to be licensed--I think if you google buprenorphine you'll find the bupe. website, which has a searchable directory of licensed docs. My guess would be that a lot of them, especially the shrinks, are RXing the stuff off-label for mood disorders.
