> Probably because it's not an antidepressant. You're high, that's why you feel better.
What is the difference between something that makes you "high" (pejorative term) and something that stops you from feeling depressed?
Surely the polar opposit of depression is being High i.e. happy!
Just because something makes you happy doesn't mean its nessecerilly bad!Its just unfortunate most euphoriants we have have such horrible side effects.
The idea that anti depressants can't make you happy has led to the widespread use of horrible things like SSRIs
Sorry for slight rant, regarding Opiates Hedweb is a good suggestion.
I've heard of people having long term success on Buprenorphine for depression.Its a pity JahL doesn't post much any more, he was interested in Opiates for depression.
He had some success on Methadone
