I would find a good doctor that can gently bring you back to base with no drugs

and see if the drugs are your problem or not.

Opiates probably cannot be patented. I'm not very excited about opiates in

general, they are extremely addictive. No one promotes opiates when no one can

make billions on them legally.

Since first being diagnosed with a depressive disorder, and the

varieties therein (Bi-Polar/type 2 or for awhile Major

Depression/Seasonal Affective, or Hypomania/Opiate Psychosis, or

WHATEVER, 8 yrs ago, I've tried Paxil, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Effexor. All

were minimally effective, and the weirdness that descended upon

stopping each particular medication was always just as unpleasant as

opiate withdrawal, which I am all too familiar with. Is there anybody

out there who finds thorough relief with opiate based drugs? OxyContin,

Fentanyl, Methadone, MS Contin, etc? Page 172 or so of " Beyond Prozac "

describes the common relief afforded many depressives through use of

Buprenorphine. Why do opiates provide such profound relief, but are

looked down on by doctors because of the addictive nature of opiates.
