> > > thank you for the information,elizabeth! yes, JOJO, subutex is buprenorphine. We can't find a doctor who caresor is even slightly informed to give the preescription. i am so frustrated. any valid online pharmacies?
> > > We just moved back to the states from France, where my husband gradually got clean using Subutex. It is fantastic, and reduces all the painful withdrawal symptoms and cravings one would have. His doctor would prescribe it to him-now that we are here, doctors have never heard of it. We are worried. Does anyone know where it can be found? (Pacha?)Thank you.

> > jojoI don't think that there must be bad news here. It is perfectly legal for a physician here in the U.S. to prescribe buprenorphine for depression, or actually any reason the physician sees fit, with the exception of opioid addiction withdrawal. Your husband might possibly fit into some category other than opioid withdrawal. The only published reference that I have seen regarding its use as an antidepressant was a reference on this board. It was an Editorial from the Journal Biological Psychiatry, I think.. Elizabeth may know more about it.
