HAHAHA
opiate therepy, good one. I wish i could have told the judge that i was shooting up for theraputic effects for my deppresion/anxiety.
no serously, a little backround info from where im coming. i am a drug addict and i am quite deppresed and have bad anxiety.
Obvously the perfect solution for this, back in about 1910, was heroin. Unfortunatly, thanx for the damn FDA and DEA, we cant just self medicate ourselves with opeates anymore. but honestly its a really crappy solution to a serious problem. you basicly just cover up your deppresion/anxiety temparaly, complete with STRONG addiction and (for me personaly) horrid withdrawl. I started using painkillers to fix my issues but it lead me to a pretty shitty place. they were the ultimate answer to my imperfect mentality, and if were to take a stab in the dark, i bet "almost" every single deppresed/anxious person in this world would get a quick fix using opiates.
the way your talking about using opiates is what the law now states as abuse.(the law is bullshit) Mental pain does not count as a reason to prescribe opiates in year 2003. (although i wish t was, i could have avoided all the money i lost in the black market and never been charged with possesion).
very fast tolerence and dependence
bad withdrawl if you have been using a decient amount for a while. which you will be because of that very fast tolerence. and this is "pretending" your not one of those many addictive personalitys (for which im lucky to be one) and arnt abusing them at all. if you are abusing them they will "eventualy" lead u somewhere around where i was about 6 months ago.now i do think if you have serious treatment resistant chronic deppresion. opiates could be used until your other meds start working. im talking about i dont want to leave my bed suicidal type. not my ups are great and my downs are melencholy type.
as an alternative you could use ADDERAL XR (amphetimine time-release) augmented to your daliy meds. Thats what i use, although i'v been abusing them every now and then becacuse i have a problem. if i take adderal daily it greatly enhances my mood and productivity untill the crash.
well thats my 2-cents
(dont respond to this claiming that technicly in some fucked up clause you can get a script of opiates legaly for emotional pain, all i have to say is if you want to get opiates for emotional pain contact the FDA, and thell laugh at your ass)
