You'll have to forgive me, I'm WAAAYYY past the pale of Drunkeness; But I carefully researched Buprenorphine for depression, and it's clear that if 2 problems can be solved;
1) you can't swallow it, a method must be found to avoid the GI tract.
2) Most partcicularly in the states, it suffers from the oppobrium of being an opiate.
I believe that, not so long ago, there was an article at the "hedweb" site www.hedweb.com that indicated that this medication was very promising for depression. I made an appointment with Dr. Stupid, Number 17-some-odd, and he said that it was simply too controversial, he wouldn't even consider it.
I wanted to snap his pencil neck like a twig, but I restrained my trembling hands.
Also, as far as alternative treatments for depression go, must be considered: Phenylethylamine (patented by a doctor in the midwest whose name I can't recall).
These issued are complex, but you all can use a search engine with equal facility to myself.
