In reply to opiates for depression, posted by pearlcat on February 19, 2007, at 13:52:09
Yeah nothing works better than opiates! LOL! But that is exactly the problem. As a seasoned opiate abuser, I can say from experience that using potent opiates for depression is just wishful thinking. I don't know about bupe... but take any opiate for awhile and you will have withdrawls and depression.
I have developed a permanant tolerance to opiates. Even when I haven't done any opiates in months, it still takes about 10 percocets on an empty stomach to get me high. I barely feel hydrocodone anymore (that's Vicodin).
Seriously, though, don't take opiates unless you absolutely have to. They are addictive - especially for depressed people. I have a lifelong addiction to these drugs that I have only been abstain from for a few years at a time. They always come back to haunt me, especially when I relapse on my depression / anxiety. I have been clean from heroin for a long time, but I don't think I will ever be able to kick the pills. They do come in handy if I am in a deep black depression. Rips me right out but dumps me right back when the high wears off.
> Has anyone experienced that opiates seemed to help with depression,anxiety and add? I know it sounds crazy but it is true . I feel more motivated on these . I guess that is why they are addictive. Yet you cannot get them easily. But you can get crap like lamictal and effexor that can really screw you up! Too bad you cant get them on the internet!
