Hopefully they will comeout with better things than pesty SSRI's.
Anyways, my aunt actually takes hydromorphone for her extreme migraines, she's been on EVERYTHING there is on the market, even sedatives since 1991, sometimes there so bad she has to have a cocktail anastheics injected at the hostpital because she faints there soo bad. But anyways......
I think Ultram is given for depression but it dont belive its an opiate narcotic, its a pain relever with antidperessant properties that effect serotonin.
well, if i was a drug company, I would only allow a low potency opiate for depression to keep the abuse low, morphine is understandable i see in your point of view becuase of the well-being feeling it produces, but tolerance would climb, and the infamous abuse could easily take place.
They need to bring more medications as potent as Paranate back in the game. Hopefully the SSRI's will be forgotten someday, and will have Parnate-like antidepressants back in action.
Cheers,
Matt
