It depends. The real concerns are that you need to know yourself and how the meds affect you.
There is little problem with taking a steady dose of an opiate for depression if you believe it will continue to help alleviate symptoms long term.
Tollerance is always a possability, but it is not the rule.
If you have acess to a steady supply then you can always give it a try.
If you don't have acess to a steady supply or cannot gain approval with a doctor who would support you, or if you feel that you will built tollerance, then it may not be a good idea.
There are doctors who will consider doing a theraputic trial of an opiate for depression but I don't know who they are (it is unlikely they advertise such approaches)
