Sorry, the facts say otherwise. If people abuse them, then their compulsive behavior gets them in trouble. But there is absolutely no evidence that opiates do any harm to one's body. (Overdose is another issue, but NOT an issue to those who use responsibly.)

I'm sincerely happy that the SSRI's have helped you so much. They helped me a GREAT deal, too! In my case, I've weighed the pro's and con's using the available current research, and based on that research, I've decided that opiates are better. I'm not saying anyone here should take opiates! I'm saying this is the choice I made for ME.
Peace,
