Various reported total daily doses for buprenorphine in depression treatment, from anecdotal reports & studies.
•DOSE COMPARISONS FROM PDR ENTRY
2 mg sublingual liquid solution would be roughly equivalent to 3 mg tablet
4 mg liquid solution would be roughly equivalent to 6 mg tablet
8 mg liquid solution would be roughly equivalent to 12 mg tablet
16 mg liquid solution would be roughly equivalent to 24 mg tablet

Following the results of the "Bodkin study" I tried lower doses of buprenorphine, 0.2-0.8 mg of temgesic, with little effect, should I assume that a higher dose will work better? What is the target dose range for treating depression?•1.0mg

I can't really answer your question since i'm not socially anxious. But i've been on buprenorphine since November last year. I take between 0.5 and 1.0 mg per day intranasally. This would equal to about 30 - 60 mg Per Oral morphine per day. This drug seems to self regulate in me. I just notice that sometimes a 8 mg Subutex lasts me 1 week and sometimes it lasts me 2 weeks. It seems impossible for me to build up a tolerance for this drug even long term. So i would recommend you try it, it seems to be a very safe opiod. Very mild withdrawal when getting off it completly.•1.2? mg

Have you ever tried buprenorphine on top of your parnate? I suggest getting the Parnate dose up to around 120mg/day and aiming for 0.15-0.3mg buprenorphine tid-qid.•1.8 mg
Bodkin study (1995)
This comes in small ampules containing 0.3 mg of the drug in 1 ml of aqueous solution. Dosage was titrated according to tolerance and clinical benefit, with a maximum daily dosage of 1.8 mg.•8 mg

Oh, my, buprenorphine, definitely! I feel energized yet calm and centered most everywhere I go, and I have never stood up taller than I do now that I am on it. This drug is one of the best things that has every happened to me. Seriously, I try to pray to God every morning in thanks for my daily 16mg of Suboxone--and I'm not even religious! It also works within 1-3 days for many people; no waiting several weeks.•16-24 mg

IMHO, OCD is best treated with opioids. If I were prescribing for you, I would have you on buprenorphine (target dose 16-24mg suboxone per day or Buprenex intranasal) for the OCD + selegiline 2.5mg b.i.d. + 10-60mg PEA per day for energy, if needed.
