In reply to Buprenorphine for Treatment Resistant Depression, posted by jessbessbobess on January 18, 2012, at 12:50:50
It's kinda hard to bring that up in a doctor session because they would tend to think your seeking the drug even thought its only buprenorphine.
The points you have to have is that you have tried all options and explain to them about your distress. I have treatment resistant depression and many resistant other things that all the things that I have tried have failed. Yes, it does help because some doctors will prescibe anything you want, there's ALOT in LA that prescibe celebrities their drug needs. You could also call this "legal drug dealers". But in your case, your not seeking heavy abuse potential medication. You just have to find the correct one which can take years of finding diffrent alternatives. I don't have a direct awnser for you. I don't know many doctors that will be willing to try opiates for depression, but there are some out there. There are some people here on babble that could explain this a bit better than I can, and give you advice better.
To opiates or lower potential abuse opiates like Suboxne you have to have history of using opiates and that your having withdraws from them be prescibed any alternative opiate medication.
