I started bup about 3 years ago and it helped me quite a bit. It was the missing ingredient for me, because the AD's only took me 8/10 of the way to normalcy. Helped with anxiety/social anxiety, and depression too.
Will not help everybody; if there are no recent studies, there should be. I know MacLean Hospital, which is an adjunct to Harvard studied it in 1995. Some were helped, some weren't.
Interesting fact: The only drug for depression in the doctor's toolkit for the last 10,000 years up to about 1950 was the opeoids. But anyone contemplating trying them has to consider the social stigma, driven by the drug hysteria concocted by the politicians.
