Hey Chris , Is Dr. Bob doing research on opiates for depression , lack of motivation and interest ?
Chris.... I can relate to all that you have written in your post .. Everything except for the back pain .. I noticed that percoset changed my world from grey lifelessness to a world of color .. They were given to me for tooth pain ..
This was on a small dose 2 x 5 mgs ..
The initial euphoria only lasted a short duration and then for the rest of the day I was very productive and could move from task to task without struggling , pushing thru things ..
I would get bored so easily , things were so grey , but if I ingested a bit of opiate in small doses things were much much different ..I just wish we could come up with a drug to replace our natural opioid system without all the tolerance issues ect ect ..
As I said in my last post I take Adderall XR ..
At first I was very skeptical because it was an amphetamine and I do not tolerate any noradrenaline drugs well , nor did I like any drug that was speed ..
But with Adderall Xr I think it is in the molecular structure of the drug that makes it work so well ..
Because when you take an opiate it allows for dopamine to flood the meso limbic system , nucleus accumbens and they think that is because opiates bind to their receptors but also inhibit GABA from restricting dopamine to enter in this area as well ..
Hey I feel for you truly .. I know what it is like to be where you are ..
Hey if Dr. Bob is doing research , please forgive my ignorance and send me a link somebody !Thanks , Laura
