Frankly, i don't have the adequate
knowledge in pharmacology to judge
whether opiates would not indeed be
better drugs for depression. They
certainly affect dopamine. That they
are quickly addicting with a very fast
tolerance leap, is something that should
be compared. Maybe, a therapeutic dose
can remain stable for many yrs. before
increasing it.

I wrote in another message that seems to
have disappeared, that opiates were used
throughout history for depression, and
lithium too, in the form of lithium bromide
salts were used way before Cade's time.

The truth must be out there somewhere.
