You know that most doctors are afraid to prescribe Vicodin on a regular basis because of it's abuse potential and because the body quickly develops a tolerance to it, requiring increasing dosages to achieve the desired effect. This would no doubt be as true for treating depression as treating physical pain.
Prehaps eventually you will find a doctor who is willing to consider a small, regulated dose of hydrocodone to treat your depression. In the meantime, your doctor may be more willing to prescribe Ultram (tramadol) for you. It's a non-narcotic that has an opiate effect, and it may help ease your depression.
