Could you elaborate on this? I've been hearing about the use of low-dose opiates for treatment resistant OCD, and have wondered at the rationale behind it. Since the SSRI's arrived, the most prevalent idea about depression and anxiety disorders seems to be that "low serotonin" is the culprit. Bathing the neurons in reuptake-blocked serotonin does often seem to help - but inconsistently, and with a number of distressing side-effects. What is this RAS/opiate thing all about?
