I was addicted to hydrocodone and oxycodone and got depressed when I went off these drugs. I tried other psych meds but they either didn't work or they made me gain tons of weight. This past summer, I was so depressed and so done with psych med experiments that I wanted to go on suboxone (a methadone like opiate). But I agreed first to try parnate and that worked for me.
The downside of opiates, if you are depressed, is that they are easy to overdose on. You also build up tolerance quickly. P-docs won't prescribe them for these reasons. Suboxone, on the other hand, can't be used to overdose because it contains naloxone (an opiate antagonist). But p-docs need a special license to prescribe it.
