Thanks, frizzal, for finding this old post by Dr Bob.
Those were the good ol' days: when Bob also posted non-administratively on Babble!
I know that Dr Bob is not opposed to the spread of information about using buprenorphine for depression, and in fact encouraged me to put my links about it on his Babble Tips group at Yahoo.
I don't know if the typical opioid tolerance he was concerned about also occurs with buprenorphine. I have REDUCED my own dose significantly over the last 7 months without loss of effect, but who know what's actually going on physiologically. Maybe I was taking too much at first, or maybe I am in the non-tolerance subgroup, or maybe bupe is different enough that this is not a factor?
