hi , i have found several threads in here that were very helpful , i have so called abused opioids in the past , only because i actually felt ALIVE , INTERESTED and motivated ... if i could look forward to once a week of using them i would .. at least i would have some hope for that week .. any way , the only drugs i have been prescribed so far are prozac , effexor and wellbutrin .. I'm still BLAH.... do i really have to go thru the almost endless list of meds before they may even consider some for of opiates? i know how i feel and the only time i felt well was when i got percocet from the dentist , or vicodin when i broke my ankle ,, i must tell you that i have this chronic state since i have been 12 yrs ,... i used to wonder why people got so excited about life !!! i also wondered how people held down jobs cooked dinner and spent time with family .. i can't do all these things with out getting tired .. but while on percoset i get energy .. strange huh? i can't clean , do laundry and shop all in one day , i can only pick one or two a day and i don't know if it is because i have to push myself to do these things that zap my energy or i just do not have energy to begin with , and i know that i am not lazy .. i've had blood tests to rule out physical things .. all were clear .. why does depression make you tired???? is it because i push to do things , is it because the boredom and lack of interest ??? why ??? i had an ultram script from the dentist but it was 2 1/2 years old and only 50mgs ,, i have thrown it out long ago so there is no trying that .. what upsets me also is that these drugs that they will try will take weeks to see if they work and i am so tired of feeling this way .. soo sooo tired ... weeks seem like years . sleep is my only escape but this is so sad .. my life is sad :{ ...
i also want to add that i think many alcoholics and addicts are difficient in enorphin and opioid areas of the brain.. and that it is passed down genetically , my family is riddled with depression , alcoholism and bipolor .. does anyone know of a doctor in the pennsylvania area that is open to opiate treatment.. please give me some feedback .. thanks laura
