only specially certified physicians are able to administer buprenorphine. SAMSHA's website has a list of these physicians, but as you know, most are very wary of the idea of opioid tx for major depression....

myroslava.romach@utoronto.caA community survey was conducted among long-term (>6 months) users
of codeine-containing products to characterize chronic use of these
extensively consumed medications. Respondents recruited through newspaper
advertisements completed a mailed questionnaire. Three hundred thirty-nine completed questionnaires were obtained, yielding a response rate of 70%. Codeine dependence/abuse as defined by DSM-IV criteria was present in 41% of
the respondents. Two thirds of the subjects had sought help for mental
health problems, most often depression (70%). Scores on the Symptom
Checklist-90 subscales were modestly elevated, particularly on the Depression subscale (1.2 +/- 0.9). Long-term codeine use is strongly associated with dependence. Depression and depressive symptoms are common. These data suggest that dysphoric mood states may be significant in maintaining long-term codeine use.PMID: 10440467 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Treatment of depressive syndromes in detoxified drug addicts: use of
methadone.Laqueille X, Bayle FJ, Spadone C, Jalfre V, Loo H.
Service Hospitalo-Universitaire de Sante Mentale et de Therapeutique,
Centre
Hospitalier Specialise Sainte-Anne, Paris, France.Depressive syndromes are very frequent in drug-addicted patients. Their
study is particularly difficult on account of the toxic intake which disturbs
the clinical analysis. Methadone has improved our understanding of these
pathologies. In fact, methadone permits treatment of some depressive
disorders typically linked to addiction, such as a motivational symptoms and
depressive mood following intoxication. It brings to the fore the other mood
disorders which are often associated with drug intake.Publication Types:

Buprenorphine treatment of refractory depression.
Bodkin JA, Zornberg GL, Lukas SE, Cole JO.
McLean Hospital, Consolidated Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical
School,
Belmont, MA 02178, USA.Opiates were used to treat major depression until the mid-1950s. The
advent of opioids with mixed agonist-antagonist or partial agonist activity, with
reduced dependence and abuse liabilities, has made possible the reevaluation of
opioids for this indication. This is of potential importance for the population
of depressed patients who are unresponsive to or intolerant of
conventional antidepressant agents. Ten subjects with treatment-refractory,
unipolar, nonpsychotic, major depression were treated with the opioid partial
agonist buprenorphine in an open-label study. Three subjects were unable to
tolerate more than two doses because of side effects including malaise, nausea,
and dysphoria. The remaining seven completed 4 to 6 weeks of treatment and as
a group showed clinically striking improvement in both subjective and
objective measures of depression. Much of this improvement was observed by the end of 1 week of treatment and persisted throughout the trial. Four subjects
achieved complete remission of symptoms by the end of the trial (Hamilton Rating
Scale for Depression scores < or = 6), two were moderately improved, and
one deteriorated. These findings suggest a possible role for buprenorphine
in treating refractory depression.Publication Types:

Current and historical concepts of opiate treatment in psychiatric
disorders.Weber MM, Emrich HM.
Max-Planck-Institut fur Psychiatrie, Munchen, Federal Republic of
Germany.In recent years psychiatric research has rediscovered the theoretical
and clinical importance of opiates, especially for the understanding of
depressive disorders. However, opiate treatment is not a new therapeutic concept
in psychiatry. The use of opium for "melancholia" and "mania" may be traced to ancient classical medicine. After Paracelsus and Sydenham, the psychiatry of the German Romantic Era widely discussed therapeutic opium use with the Engelken family going on to develop a structured opium treatment of depression in the first half of the nineteenth century. Although the underlying scientific problems of psychiatric opium therapy were never solved, it gained an outstanding position as a practical treatment for over 100 years.Publication Types:
