Here's some more on line references. A medline search would probably turn up more not on the web.
http://opioids.com/antidepressant/history.html
This one comes from McClean Hospital (attached to Harvard Medical School). The group there has, I believe, continued to work with opioids with patients. I imagine they haven't had much luck getting research funding. Opioid research has been made politically incorrect thanks to the "war on drugs".

Here's the full article:

There is also a lot of anecdotal evidence on PB. Just do a search on opiods and depression, buprenorphine and depression, etc.
Hope this gets you started,
