Hi,
If I could have gotten access to buprenorphine, I would have tried it years ago. Getting the medication outside of a drug treatment center is next to impossible. If more research were done with this medication on depression, it would probably prove to be a miracle drug for many treatment resistant people. Too bad our government is so backwards when it comes to research with opioids and other scheduled substances for depression treatment.
JediSuboxone
Generic Name: buprenorphine and naloxone (byoo PREH nor feen and NAH lox own)
What is Suboxone?
Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces less euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking.Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. If Suboxone is injected, naloxone will block the effects of buprenorphine and lead to withdrawal symptoms in a person with an opioid addiction. When administered under the tongue as directed, naloxone will not affect the actions of buprenorphine.
Suboxone is used to treat opiate addiction.

I suggest people who have treatment resistant depression look into it. It worked for me and I felt I owed it to everyone here to come back and let everyone know that it did.
