yeah, they do. Stelazine (trifluoperazine) is an old stand-by neuroleptic that's being studied for "preventing opiate addiction," presumably for long-term opiate patients. Its kind of adding insult to injury...first the patients have to deal with chronic pain and under-prescribing physicians, then they have to take neuroleptics to "prevent addiction".

Neuroleptics are brain disabling drugs that suck all the joy and color out of life, so it doesn't surprise me that they "prevent addiction". They also "prevent emotion" and "prevent individuality," so they seem to be good at "preventing" anything medical/psychiatric authorities might deem troublesome. Neuroleptic treatment is remarkably similar to various forms of lobotomy--the dopamine blocking causes similar frontal lobe deficits while the drug is being used. Not surprisingly, lobotomy and similar brain ravaging surgeries have been, and are being, used for opiate addiction...in China and Russia, these surgeries have been used with some success. In the West, I suppose more lip service is paid to "human rights," so instead of cutting up addict's brains, we treat every patient like a potential addict and drug them into oblivion accordingly.
