In reply to OPIATES FOR DEPRESSION?, posted by medhed on February 5, 2005, at 10:08:08
i've been on vicodin and percocet from an injury in october. i'm not very pleased to still be on them because of the hype about addiction and stuff. for me, i don't get any high, and my dr doesn't think many people do. she has spoken about percocet producing a certain calm that no other drug can and about it making a lot of depressed people feel "normal," since normal is still below a typical baseline state. for me, the narcotics killed me mood quickly. i was stable enough, then within a week of starting, i was suicidal. it made sense to me since narcotics are depressants, but they must produce something good in some people or there wouldn't be people addicted to heroin and painkillers, huh?
