Opiates and depression

Posted by geno on December 11, 2003, at 20:23:34

Hi, i would like to share some of my opiate experience with the board. Iv been on almost every darn type of medication. They keep me above water, but not happy go lucky. I use hydrocodone or oxycodone ususally.
When i take these opiates, i become very happy, outgoing, energy, i clean my house, work out, talk alot more etc. I know there abusive drugs, but i wonder what impact on seratonin/dopamine.

What i figure is this. Opiates release dopamine from the nucleus cumbus, the reward center of the brain, along with binding with opiate receptors.

I love opiates for many reasons. I can function, i could work all day, or just sit home watching tv and be content. Iv been through rehab before, and clean for 9 months. But still didnt feel right. I hurt my back , got a script for percocets, and felt great.

Anyone else have this experience?
