> Hi Cece,
> I have also found vicodin to be a very effective AD and also helps my self-injury which somehow is tied in with opiate receptors. Apparently that is why naltrexone is so effective with SI and substance abuse. But your more immediate problem is the new pdoc. Because you use such a small amount (I take 90-100 mg/day when depressed- which probably does qualify as substance abuse. But I am able to stop when manic- kind of an interesting phenomenon). I would suggest having your old pdoc contacting your new one and saying that 1 vicodin is part of your med regime. It's not uncommon, some people use it in panic disorder in addition to depression. You are absolutely not abusing, but may have developed some tolerance (going from 1/2 to 1 tab). I think as long as you are honest with your pdoc, there should be no problem. I wish you the best of luck- Judy

Thanks for your support and information, Judy- much appreciated
