I think I meant:
Are drugs of abuse simply more rapidly acting and effective antidepressants with *greater* abuse potential?
> I was talking to someone who was on parnate years ago and he said he felt he was always high on the drug and finally discontinued it for that reason. But even if ads only address the symptoms sometimes one may need them to get over a tough patch in their lives.It's kind of ironice how docs seem to view certain drugs as having a moral stigma attached to them as opposed to certain psychotropic that they hand out like candy.Yes, I abused Parnate myself - only found out it could be abused after I experimented with it myself but my pdoc said in a letter to my GP that he thinks I requested Parnate for that purpose. My GP still prescribes it for me anyway but I no longer use it but that's only because they won't give me a benzo to calm the jitters.
