> Hi Guys,
> Every time I have taken opioids short term, they have helped my depression. I'm sure that many of the addicts using street drugs or fraudulently obtained prescription medications are self medicating for depression.

> My question is: Has anybody, currently on this board, ever obtained long term relief from major depression using opioids? Any positive or negative experiences will be appreciated.

>I used percocet for four months and it continued to have an anti depressant effect. They key is not using it all day and not taking it at bedtime. I took my dose twice a day so I guess it wasn't in my system all the time. Some on oxycontin which is time released cover themselves 24 hours a day so I guess tolerance would set in sooner.
