I wasn't implying that you were abusing them clubfitter, I just find the out-and-out addicts are more forthright about these things, and they have more experience. Depression is definitely a withdrawal symptom of opiates, even small doses. They're powerful antidepressants so it stands to reason. I think you find a similar thing with prescription antidepressants - the depression returns if you quit suddenly, but opiates being more immediate and more effective antidepressants the withdrawal is that much more immediate and powerful.
I don't know what the best thing would be, probably to try and cope without them, or use them p.r.n if possible.
