In reply to Re: Oxycodone (Oxycontin) for depression: How much?, posted by Sabina on November 16, 2003, at 10:35:28
I am quite desperate to find anything that will work to relieve me of a very refractory and unremitting bipolar depression. I have tried most everything over these last twenty years with little success. Considering my lack of alternatives, I think it is appropriate to consider treatments that are not considered mainstream. I am very appreciative of the input, both positive and negative, regarding the use of opioids to treat affective disorders. Even if oxycodone were to produce a positive effect, its short half-life and tendency to produce tolerance make it difficult to work with. I really would like to use it as a biological probe, perhaps helping to select future treatments. If it helps, I would probably try tramadol (Ultram).
