In reply to BSJ: what about Ultram - opioid agonist/antagonist, posted by btnd on December 6, 2003, at 7:48:58
Starting six months ago, I tried several opiate products, Ultram being one of them. It was the easiest to get. It made me feel very bizarre--uncomfortable in my own skin, spacey, distinctly unpleasant. Later, I read that it caused withdrawal symptoms in longtime opiate addicts, likely due to their lower endorphin levels. Given that I suspect my depression is due to endorphin dysfunction, this makes perfect sense; I am, more or less, like a longterm opiate addict, except, until I started taking hydrocodone later, I'd never took opiates in any quantity. I'd love to be able to compare my brainscan with that of, say, a heroin addict in withdrawal, and see what the similarities might be.
