Has anyone heard anything else about this? I was browsing Google and found a couple different sites with articles about buprenorphine being used as an antidepressant. I've heard of opiates being used in the early 50's and before for depression and such, but is it possible that that may happen again? Buprenorphine is currently being used for withdrawal symptoms, like methadone is, but i've never heard of a doctor prescribing any kind of opiate for anxiety or depression within my lifetime. I wonder if this has any future? I mean, opiates would certainly make VERY effective antidepressants, however there would be two downsides that are obvious: tolerance and addiction. But with an opioid such as buprenorphine as an antidepressant, tolerance and addiction risks would be considerably minimized. I wonder if any stronger opiates will be used as antidepressants? codeine? morphine? oxycodone? Here i go dreaming again...Hmmm....
