I've found success with buprenorphine because of it's kappa antagonist as everyone with depression has an overactive brain based upon Helen Mayberg's study with PET scans showing too much glucose consumption in even minor depression and the Pet Scans remain overactive until the patient goes into remission and for Dr. Mayberg, remission was with doing deep brain stimulation. Those that stayed depression still showed an overactive brain or too much glucose consumption.
