Hi,
Actually my shrink does prescribe vicodin (in 10mg doses/day) for his treatment-resistant anxiety-depression patients. I'm just in a way different class, morphine and fentanyl are schedule 3 narcotics and as such warrent triplicate prescriptions and FDA monitoring- so naturally those type of meds are prescribed only by 'pain' drs aka anesthesiologists. I mentioned my pdoc, and I know other shrinks at UCLA that use opiates in treatment. hope you feel better, and if you have documented pain- then expect the need for increased dose but with depression it doesn't seem to have that effect. take care, judy
