Hi, Phillipa.

My experience was with SSRI SNRI TCA MAOI lithium AP and ECT failure, after which buprenorphine did help. Both of the small studies of bupe for depression were with treatment-resistant people. Some of those patients were also prior opioid addicts.

I think I would only suggest considering it after quite a few regular treatments fail.
