In reply to Methadone for depression for me??, posted by geeper16 on February 26, 2004, at 23:07:35
Steve-
The use of opiates for depression is a reality. Vicodin does the same for me. Try to find an experienced psychopharmocologist and explain your experiences with opiates and/or see a psychiatrist at a university with a teaching hospital. They are putting me on opiates because nothing else works. There are treatments psychiatrists don't talk about. In fact, more and more studies are being done using opiates for those with severe depressions. The "Prozac Nation" is coming to an end because - as you can read on this board - those who have suffered too long on the wrong med have educated themselvves and have started to speak out and demand new and novel treatments. Seratonin is not the only neurohormone that causes depression.
Educate yourself. Be an effective patient. Don't give up. Refuse to live as just 'better."
Good luck
Jerry
