> Just read your well written response, I'm glad you have had access to such knowledgeable pdocs. Another effective use for opiates is for treatment resistant panic disorder; my pdoc has also prescribed them for depression. And he also is part of a well-respected reasearch program. Take care, judy

I'm happy for anyone who has access to good psychiatric care. It's disgracefully rare.

An interesting note about opioids for PD: they do seem to block panic attacks, but the effects of buprenorphine on respiration seemed to be a *contributing* factor in a PA I had. (This was when I had just started taking it after a long hiatus and wasn't used to the side effects.) This might be something that is specific to buprenorphine, though.

I use Xanax for breakthrough PAs because buprenorphine doesn't work fast enough (through the route I use) that a booster dose would work in that event.

best,
