yeah...i understand. unfortunately the opiates have gained popularity for everyday people as the drug of choice. they do create a feeling of peace and tranquility. you must constantly up your dosage to achieve that feeling, however. people eventually get to doses so high that they would literally kill someone who is not addicted. it's a dangerous game to play. but he must take a hard look at himself and see what they have made him into. is he now willing to do anything to get them? breaking the law? This is what these drugs will do. they will destroy him and everybody around him. is that what he wants. if he can't feel normal, them maybe it's time to try an anti-depressant. but he MUST want to help himself. right now i think he is caught in the cycle of denying that it's an addiction and refusing to look elsewhere for relief. how far down the ladder is he willing to go? i have seen first-hand what these drugs do to people. it isn't pretty...and it's a long road back, but it can be done. and i know how hard it is to watch, but it isn't your problem to fix, it's his. only he can help himself. please stay strong if you can and keep posting...it's a good release for you...
