Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
