> With all the pharmacological alternatives out there for Depression, why must one take Opiates (which are not proven effective by scientific double-blind, placebo-controlled worldwide trials)?
Sal:
What is your bias? What is your agenda?Everytime i was put one of 'all the pharm alternatives' my life would be turned upside down yet again for weeks if not months, frequently to the point of desperation.
I do not know how _your_ body chemistry/illness works, maybe for you switching meds is like changing clothes.
Tempus Fugit. If something works for someone who is ill, why fool around with anything else.
Most of us had a life before depression and am sure that all of us just want to get back to that life and not spend the rest of our existence in some obscenely expensive exsperimental treadmill where we eventually try 'all of those alternatives'
How safe do you think it is to be introducing substance after substance into your system?
These drugs have not been tested or approved for long term use by themselves let alone in the psycho-brew du jour.
