Opiates are making a comeback; check www.turntohope.com (I think that's the right address). Its a listing of docs licensed to RX bupernorphine. Usually, bupe is for detox/maintenance of former addicts, but some docs use it for depression in the treatment-resistant. My guess would be that if you look for a psychiatrist in your area in the directory, they'd be more likely to do it than a non-psychiatrist doc.

As for other opiates...probably not going to happen anytime soon. Ultram, maybe, but...the appeal of bupe is that its more or less non-addictive, so most docs are using that.
