> I find it hard to believe a legit p. doc would prescribe opiates for depression. Any good one clearly knows better. It would be a good way to get someone at the bottom, even lower over the long run.
It's okay to find it hard to believe, but there are quite a few out there (though, admittedly, not in the majority). Those who are open to "unusual" treatments when all else has failed eventually find there opiates can, indeed, help depression in some patients.
Again, if a person is prone to abusing opiates, then it isn't recommended. Not everyone has this problem, however.
