I talked to my doctor today, and he says that he wants
to try adding a partial opiate agonist to the Parnate
(20mg) I am taking. Obviously (as per earlier threads)
opiates such as codeine have helped people's moods. Is
there anyone else out there who has prescribed (or had
prescribed for them) an opiate (agonist or partial
agonist) for a mood or anxiety disorder? I'd like to
hear opinions and impressions...what do and don't they
help with, etc.

Well I feel silly. Sorry about that. :-}
(When I tried to post the first time, it froze up,
so I assumed - mistakenly, it seems - that the post
hadn't made it.)

I'm talking to my doctor today, too, and I'd be interested in this information.

I am augmenting Prozac with the opiate antagonist Naltrexone and it has been like a miracle. See my posting in February "Naltrexone for SSRI poop out". Best wishes... Wayne
