Please apologize me if this post offends anyone but I mean no ill.
Have you ever tried a form of opiate (legally) from a doctor? It works wonders for depression (in fact it kind of eliminates it entirely for as long as you are taking it, but then again SSRIs work in the same way in that you must keep taking them for the benefits).
Opiates get a bad rap from ignorance and people that have abused them, but they are some of the most important drugs ever discovered. It never makes sense to me why they aren't prescribed for depression, they work so well and the side-effects are so nominal.
Hmmm, of course, they now replace the centuries old poppy for much more dangerous medicines out there. But such is the law I guess, as irrational as it may be.
Oh yeah, and about that whole addiction thing with opiates, or any other substance. If you have to be taking those kinds of drugs (legally) that are addicting for a very long time (to treat a certain thing), then addiction is irrelevant because you have to keep taking them anyway. You don't have to worry about running out.
People that use these drugs for abuse hurt those people that really need them.
Oh, nevermind, I don't apologize about this post, I believe I stated it for the well being of a fellow man that has tried much but has not found sanctuary from his demons. I really mean this all in the best of Providence. Good luck.
