How hypocritical of them not to prescribe an opiate for legitimate purposes!!!
Bup can be purchased rather cheaply from Offshore OP's. less than 40 bucks for 50 tabs of the 0.2mg sublingual tabs.
I use opiates for self-medicating my depression. They work to a point. The short acting nature of the more popular meds (Oxycodone, Hydrocodone) means that as you chase the effect, with increasing tolerance, the withdrawals are an ever present risk!
My experience with Bup is that it works well. No real euphoria, but depression goes away. They are also excellent for trying to stop short acting opioids. Buprenorphine stops withdrawals completely! Tabs must be held under tongue without swallowing for ten minutes!!!! Takes a while to get to the brain. But the effects last a long time. Unlike vicodin or Oxy, where you start thinking about more every 3-4 hours!!!
Anyway, thats all 4 now. Good luck

PS: Is it just me, or does it seem like all AD's are a bad joke, sugar pills foisted on us by greedy Pharmaceutical companies? Just wondering....
