Hi,
I've been taking narcotics for several years- both as a pain reliever and an AD. I have never had a problem with worsening depression- although i concede just about any drug can cause different effects in different people. also, no problem with increasing doses- I've been on the same dose for 2 years. at times during a manic episode, i feel no pain and often stop or slow down on narcotics w/o realizing it. I'm not chasing a high here, just sometimes alleviating pain symptoms and as a benefit helping depression- to the point where I'll take them strictly as an AD. take care, judy
