We just crossed in posting, I hadn't even seen this one yet! Thanks so much, you're a peach! :)
> I"ll have to try my Vicodin next time I feel depressed, and see what effect it has.
That's for some reason not the same thing at all, although much of the controversy is based on people assuming it is. I don't know the chemistry-speak to explain why (the fact that tram is a weak synthetic member of the opiate class is probably related), but Vicodin and the like don't have the same *therapeutic* action or potential, and are vastly easier to abuse. Sure, for most people Vicodin will get their head in a *very* good (TOO good) place, and that is no surprise at all. But it is not working in the same way on the brain; could not continue to be used for this without trouble of many kinds setting in; and is just not meant to be for these purposes.Gracias again! :)
