Yep-Vicodin was my drug of choice a few years back- I detoxed, and haven't touched the stuff in a year. I had strong anti-obsessional effects on it. I also felt the high, etc. Sometimes I think the mood-aletring drugs-such as the opiods work better than AD's, AP, and MD's combined

> Anyway, yes I am seriously planning on doing this... but I was just wondering, has anyone else ever noticed the STRONG anti-obsessional effects of opiates and opiod drugs. I take 15-30 mg hydrocodone whenever I can get my hands on it (which isn't very often), and it's amazing how drastically it reduces obsessive thinking. No other drug, licit or illicit, can do this for me. I wonder if there is a relation between the brain's opiod system and OCD. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
