I'm a big fan of opioids for depression. My doctors finally listened to me about 4 years ago and put me on hydrocodone along with my other depression meds. the effect was basically the same as yours. BUt I never grew tolerance and never abused them (not saying you did). UNfortunately my new doc was weary of keeping me on them because he was nervous about the state auditing him, etc, etc., so he took me off them. Weird thing is I went off cold turkey after being on them for 4 years and didn't have any withdrawal.
There's alot of info out there regarding using buprenorphine for depression. I wish I had more info for you.
