Yes.

If you don't take the next dose on schedule, you're liable to get depressed again within hours. As such, I think the best way to use it is in combination with one of the standard ADs.

I lose interest in sex when I'm depressed, so buprenorphine was very helpful to me in that regard. It didn't seem to cause any sort of sexual dysfunction.
