Opiates are a slippery slope much more so than stimulants. There may be doctors scripting suboxone or maybe even methadone to people under the pretense that they're junkies but for depression. But not plain old opiates like hydrocodone or morphine.
I know for a fact that stimulants are scripted for depression all the time under the guise of ADHD treatment but its much harder to justify opiates when someone starts reviewing your records.
