Bulldog, that sounds like my experience; it at least sounds like what my pdoc was talking about (in unscientific terms, since I do not understand brain chemistry).
> They key is to give enough of the synthetic opiate to stimulate activity rather than a euphoric high where you bask in a good feeling. I was on percocet for four months for pain and when I took my perocet it also worked on my depression. I found myself doing more things and becoming more active. So how much you stimulate the receptor is key.
