I'm glad you have found relief with such a small dose of hydrocodone daily- it is what my shrink prescribes for some of his panic/depressed patients. Personally I couldn't agree more with Shelli's post- it is a LOT easier going through a pain doc, I get ms contin (morphine) that way. Because I have bipolar disorder, my depresssions tend to be self-limiting and opiate treatment works really well in that setting because I don't have to keep upping the dose to get the same effect. I wonder if you have anxiety symptoms?, I ask because hydrocodone (vicodin) is a great anxiolytic drug too, and since you are getting such a robust response from a relatively low dose perhaps that is why. take care, judy
