In reply to OPIATES IN TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION « LAURA777, posted by Dr. Bob on January 10, 2004, at 17:33:47
I am so glad that I noticed this post.I just had this discussion with my therapist last week.I was given Lortabs for tooth pain, and noticed how much better they work over any antidepressant.They make me feel calm,Give me energy and motivation, makes me actually feel normal.The therapist said that there is a big debate and study going on concerning the benefits of opiates in treating depression.She asked me If I thought I would be prone to an addiction problem with the lortabs...Was she actually going to give me a prescription and her blessing to take them? It did cross my mind.
