As per my post above, I've tried buprenorphine several times, and despite the fact that it was the only drug that ever offered me full remission from depression and GAD, I would STRONGLY recommend you stay away from it. It is a powerful opioid with all it's problems: side-effects, dependence, tolerance, withdrawal. I've lived through these enough times not to want to try again, despite the great feeling you get while on the drug.

All the best
