> I was wondering what peoples' opinions were on buprenorphine as a treatment-option for anxiety/OCD and depression?
I used buprenorphine for treatment resistant depression in 2004. It worked wonders for a few months - my depression was gone, when it stopped working, I used morphine for a short time with little effect. After that I was in a living hell of severe anxiety and depression for five years. I am sure it was the buprenorphine that caused this, because I used morphine for a short time. The lacking effect of morphine was probably due to cross tolerance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-tolerance
Later in 2004 I had a voluntary stay in a mental hospital. On a leave from the hospital I tried to commit suicide with 1200 mg morphine. After this, I was treated with ECT. None of this had happened if I hadn't used buprenorpine (and morphine). But when buprenorphine worked, it was among the best days of my life.
