Hi,
I just wanted to relay my thought on the opiate subject too. I also tried many many different antidepressents, many that have some serious side effects on liver like effexor, etc. Nothing ever worked for me also. I finally quit the search and
ended just living miserably for quite some time now. In the past when I ever hurt something like my back once in an accident, my ankle, just basic
strains, and when I was prescribed codeine, or
other opiate drugs for pain, I noticed something,
I would with one pill, have an interest for life
again. This past week on thurs 1/23/03 I had my wisdom teeth removed. They prescribed 15 pills of
Vicoprofin for pain (another opiate), I have taken about 2 per day now and bingo I have a real interest in living again. Since thursday I have
cleaned my house for the first time in months,
I am going out to excercise and my mind has totally changed from depression. I can see I need to find a psychiatrist that is willing to prescribe opiates for depression (non abusing).
We are in such a bullshit world as far as all these docs only prescribing all this anti depresent drugs like prozac, zoloft, etc cause the
pharmacuetical companies pay them to prescribe them. Not to say they havent helped some but really we are all kind of Guinea Pigs as far as the long term goes with these drugs. Oh and they say but "their non addictive" (even though you may hav to tke them forever???). I want something
that works and am just sick of all the bull in
the psyco world. Also wanted to say that I have
taken Ultra tremedol and have had the same interest in life as opiates. Ultram is not an opiate but works the same way as them so its worth giving a try. I also saw the sites where you can get the tremedol so if anyone has success
with this please let me know. Thanks alot Matt
