why do opiates help depression?

Posted by rjlockhart37 on November 8, 2014, at 17:52:29

i was just thinking a while ago.....i was on oxycodone for a thing where i pulled my back out of place lifting something, and and also hydrocodone later because of a wreck i got into.....

but why do they, when i took oxycodone it totally wiped out depression, it made me more socialable and in good spirits, hydrocodone was similar expet not as strong.....

so i do know that opiates target dopamine, but it's not a stimulant like effect, sutle, being content, and feeling a general feeling of well being......

yet opiates have been known for almost what 200 years of their addiction properties, all the way back to the civil war when they used morphine for the soldiers and they kept requesting more of it.....and of course, funny thing to know but they sold heroin over the counter in the early 1900's 1900-1915 until they made the first drug laws.....

why do opiates make feel so contend? heroin is just .... your a dazed zombie with 100 percent drug-flooded sedated pleasure.....but that's heroin, i'm talking more about presciption opiates today like oxycountin, vicodin.....

they are vary good for depression, it becomes slightly pleasant, and then by the mid effect feeling well-being but when it wears off is when you start to think about the next dose, and then pleasure decreases back to sober......but they created suboxone now for addicts.....opiates are vary good for depression thats i have to say, despite their long known history of addiction....

but does anyone have anythoughts about that?
