Hi, again, Hermit.
> Again, I have know MANY people who are on a maintenance dose of opiates (everything from buponorphine to Vicodin) who have been treating their depression successfully for MANY YEARS.
How do you know so many people treating depression with opioids, including buprenorphine? By contrast, there have only been a handful here at Babble over the years.
Are the depressive opioid patients you've met former abusers? I know you said you had training in chemical dependency counseling.
