I started at a dose of 2 mg for the first day and titrated up to 4 mg the second day of use. I found a single 4 mg dose was sufficient to treat my symptoms through the next day. I took the dose in the evening as it made me pretty sleepy.
Depressive symptoms abated within a couple hours of dosing and this effect lasted through the next day. As for my OCD, I noticed I wasn't having any symptoms aboout 4 hours into the dose, however they returned the next morning. I imagine if I took two 4 mg doses a day, both my depression and COD would abate.
The antidepressant qualities of Buprenorphine were quite pronounced and accompanied by a little euphoria. The great difference between Buprenorphine and standard antidepressants is the speed it took to work.
