> Where in my posts does it say I did not feel "Good" on them?

Ok, now I'm confused. LOL! I looked at my prior post, and I didn't see any reference from me about you not feeling good on them. (My head hurts.) :o)

> All I meant was that, just like all addictive cns depressant drugs, you are chasing something you will never catch.

Ah, there's the misunderstanding. If I were taking any opiate to chase the high, you're right -- I would never catch it, because it takes more and more to get there. I'm only talking about taking just enough to handle fatigue and depression, which for me is very little. That dose never changes, at least not for me.

> I felt great for awhile, then it got beyond depression, even though i really never upped my dosage.

Yes, some people (maybe most, I don't know) do end up getting sort of immune to it. That's the point I would stop (or taper) for at least a month. I would be a lame month, but that's the only way you can avoid chasing it up.

> SSRI meds do not work this way! You can lie to yourselves or your doctors all you want, but you know the truth!

The problem here is that SSRI's are harmful to your brain and actually cause anatomical changes with prolonged use. Opiates, when RESPONSIBLY used, don't cause any damage whatsoever.

> I know all about the tricks opiates and other addictive drugs can play on you! SSRI med might be dull, but for most, they even people out, not make them "HIGH"! Been down those roads before!

I completely agree with you if we were talking about using opiates for getting high. It just doesn't work. But for maintenance control of fatigue and depression, I still say they can't be beat.
