>In tough cases, maybe tramadol, vicadin, hydrocodone, those these are better for diagnostic tools than longterm treatment IMO.
In order for something to gain acceptance as a diagnostic tool, its usefulness has to have been scientifically validated. Vicodin is not a diagnostic tool for anything except response to Vicodin :) Opioids frequently produce mood changes, elevation or otherwise, regardless of whether the person who took the drug is suffering from depression or not.
