hi BurnedOut, if you search on this board for buprenorphine you will find many references to people in the USA & Australia (me) being prescribed this drug (a synthetic narcotic) for trd! One of the earlier posts has refs to a lot of respected medical journal articles on the effectiveness of this drug for depression.
I showed these to my pdoc & he now prescribes this drug for me for depression legally. You can get it too!
Good luck. Let me know if I can help in any way
