In reply to Best Painkillers for Resistent Depression?, posted by AlexCanada on June 19, 2014, at 2:10:21
Here in the USA, narcotic painkillers are NOT FDA approved for any psychiatric use. Seeking narcotics to treat psychiatric problems will quickly get you diagnosed as a drug addict here in the USA and a "drug seeker." Narcotics are highly addictive, you build tolerance quickly and none exist where you are not going to be "stoned" and dopey acting...such as having slurred speech, impaired motor skills. You cannot drive a car here in the USA if you are taking prescription narcotics...doing so can easily get you charged with the serious crime of DUI.
Try a drug that is formally approved for major depression in your country. Other things to try is to go to a sleep medicine specialist as poor sleep can cause depression.
The legal problems that longterm addiction to "narcotics for depression" will only cause you severe financial and psycho social problems that will severely worsen your "depression." For example, to stay out of prison, you will have to come up with large sums of money to pay a criminal defense attorney and for court appearances and for rehab. This sort of thing can only cause your mood to worsen severely.
While narcotics may for some "depressed" people seem an effective way to "anesthesia" themselves out of their "depression," its a total dead end medium and long term.
