Reese, I don't want to presume, but Dr. Bob is a psychiatrist, right? So why not e-mail Dr. Bob personally & ask him if he could send an e-mail to your pdoc to let him know about the med.

Maybe I've overstepped my limits, but if I have, it's not with intention to interfere but help. You sound so desparate, it hurts.


> that's what is so frustration. His reasoning is that he has never prescribed it before and he wants to talk to doc who has. He even was going to send me to Yale to meet with someone there but that doctor told him he wouldn't prescribe it for depression. So at this point I think he see's it as a useless or dangerous medication which is even the more frustrating. the doctor at yale told him, who is running trials for bubrenorphine/naltraxone for opiate detox, which seems to be what they are tryiing to license it as. He wants to find someone who has used it for depression.

> Plus I think he's scared of prescribing it for me because he also is an addiction specialist and is concerned that they might look into him, which i think is complete bull shit. I've even had my mother call him and tell him that she wants me on it but again he just back pedals. So at this point i'm screwed. He would rather i go in for ECT then take buprenex even for a trail run of two to four weeks. It makes me sick. There is one doctor he knows in new york who would prescribe it but he no longer is in practice.

> It basically seems for whatever reason he doesn't feel comfortable taking responsibility with the script, cause he doesn't know much about it.

> I've read many of your posts and you seem to be the most knowledgable. There is no other medication left for me to try. I currently take lithium, neurontin, celexa, clonzapam, adderall, which makes it even funnier since adderall and clonzapam are both "addictive"
>
> He could just pick up the phone and call it in but he won't. I've brought all the information I've found on the internet about buprenex but it doesn't seems to help. And it's also not a great help that they've seemed to have given up on studying it for refractatory depression and gone straight for the clinical trials of detox.
