> First, a note to Rudiger: thanks for posting the "Unadoptable Orphan" letter. I hadn't been able to get a copy of it, and I was interested in what Calloway had to say.
No prob. Thank you for making me aware of this treatment option. It has given me a little hope. A couple of years ago I had four impacted wisdom teeth taken out. The Vicodin I was prescribed, in addition to taking care of the excrutiating pain, produced a profound antidepressant effect. I had a far more productive day the day of the operation (after starting the Vicodin) than the day before! I didn't have any side-effects to speak of. Naturally my pdoc was unimpressed. Since then I've tried several combos of antidepressants with very little to show for it. There are a few things I want to try before I pursue the buprenorphine (next up is Provigil + Celexa). I don't know if my current pdoc will agree to prescribe the buprenorphine, but since I don't think he has any experience with it I'm thinking I might want to find someone else anyway.
