Certain people respond to opioids as antidepressants , without developing tolerance to the antidepressant action. Do a few searches on psycho-babble for "opioid AND depression", "buprenorphine". You'll find lots of anecdotal stories of success (and failure) with opioids and even a references to a clinical study. You'll also find a lot of "don't take opiods; they'll turn you into an addict" posts.
When the subject of opioids for depression comes up its not uncommon for flame wars to develop. I hope this doesn't happen here.
