Yeah, I dont get the bupe situation: its OK to use long-term, maybe indefinitely, if you've actually been a confirmed addict to an opiate, but if you're suffering and want something helpful for depression...then, well, you're probably out of luck. Good for addicts, yes; good for the very depressed....no. Its ridiculous. Its kind of like how docs rx amphetamines to little kids (or should say for the teachers/parents of little kids) who wont sit down and shut up, but if you're miserable and amphetamines might help you out...probably not. Take you Effexor and shut up. Sigh. What an intolerable situation.
