>Hi Jerry,
How on earth did you get around to be prescribed Opiates for Depression?
-I am guessing you are paying alot to see this PsyDoc? (money talks)
-He is VERY openminded? and not worried about legal ramafacations?I come from down under, and while seeing a top PsyDoc here, openly and honestly, mentioned that when I take Codeine 200-400mgs (Nurofen plus split-OTC here) with the 2-6mgs of Clonazepam I had been taking, I experience a very noticable anxiolytic, antidepressant effect,
Well this was not a good move!. my PCP informed me this PsyDoc thought I was displaying 'Drug seeking tendencies' and was going to place my name on the Authorities 'Drug seekers register'!!, until my PCP intervened.
As another poster wrote:
"Opiates are the best and most effective Antidepressants, they have been used for thousands of years, and apart from 'dependence' are far less toxic than the new drugs. The beginning of imipramine in 1958 represents more, Biopsychiartic sophistication than advance in treatment.So how did you get prescribed these meds?
Which Opiates/Opiods have you been medicated with?Thanks,
Cheers Paul
