Yes. There are multiple studies backing up the use of buprenorphine in refractory depression with excellent results. Also, see the article "Buprenorphine: The Un-Adoptable Orphan". It summarizes a few of his cases in which buprenorphine was a miraculous success, and then gives his opinion on the politics and economics that prevent it from ever gaining the status of an excellent antidepressant as it should. It does not produce any "high" feeling after around 5 days . It remains an excellent mood elevator, though.
Also, it doesn't make me feel drugged at all, unlike typical full opioid agonists. It's kinda like getting the benefits of an opioid but without feeling high, if that makes any sense. The trials used 0.3mg qid (maybe as high as 0.6mg). I take 4mg qid, which definitely works better than lesser doses. I don't know if that would hold true for many people, but then again, I don't seem to respond to many medications typically at all. ;)

Honestly, the stuff is an amazing antidepressant for many people, including me. I would probably do OK on just buprenorphine alone, but the other meds (Nardil, Dostinex) along with it make me feel very WELL most of the time.

Are you thinking of trying anything I've mentioned?

Best of luck.
