Can someone give me the name of a doctor that will prescribe opiates for depression in Baltimore, MD? You may post your answer or send your answer to jaklnn@yahoo.com
I've been to many doctors, and they all have turned me down. They won't even read the medical journal articles that I give them about opiates and depression.
I recently moved from another city where my general physician was prescribing opiates for me. After beginning the opiates, my life began for the first time to become tolerable. (I am still on a low dose of opiates, and hope to increase my dosage for even better results.)
I have been depressed for 15 years, and I've tried every other category of antidepressants, as well as many different combinations of treatments and alternative treatments for depression. I have never felt better than I have now. I cannot go back to the miserable life I had before taking opiates – my life was hardly worth living.
These doctors ought to be ashamed of their selves. They lobby to keep the prescription privilege theirs, and then they put up so many hurdles for us to get the medications, leaving many people to unnecessarily suffer greatly and legally extorting thousands of dollars in the process.
