BSJ:
I have a terrific idea for you that will solve your dilemma concerning your philosophy on opiates for antidepression treatment: go to medical school and become a pioneer for your cause! Maybe you could start a trend?
I spoke with several doctors at work last week and they all think using opiates for treating depression is unwarranted and dangerous. That opinion seems pretty unanimous. These are doctors who willingly prescribe patients narcotics for physical injury and pain, as well. I know several people who have had narcotics prescribed for post-operative pain over a couple of months who have gotten addicted, despite taking them as directed! It's a catch-22 situation, I guess??????
