Absolutely! When I first started my depression was gone. A miracle I thought. And then the obsession began. That's all I thought about everyday! Where I could get more. Phone calls waiting an waiting. Spend all my money try to find more. I started taking change my mother had saved in a huge bucket. Sneaking around. An the first night with out I would of killed myself if I had gotten my hands on a gun. The withdrawals were so horrible. I was on the verge of suicide. Every place I called for help had a waiting list. An they were all 30 miles away. It takes courage to make that call for help. An when I called half a dozen places with no luck it was way more depressing. My bf of 10 yrs. Just kept getting worse. He was a totally differant person. He hated me. One day I just couldn't deal an called a place Id heard about. It was a physchiatric hospiital an it had a place for detox. 9 days an finally I wasn't dying. But my relationship did. Which devested me. I could never completley quit. I was good for awhile an relapsed. Then I started on methadone. I had to drive 45 minutes one way just to get a shot glass size to drink. Everyday I did it. Finally I just got burnt out an stopeed going. Ive been off an on for a few years. An now ive found a suboxene connection. My depression is the worst along with PTSD. Im all alone now an have no one. Not even a friend. Amazing how something that takes away depression can be so deadly. It totally sucks! Ive tried everything to feel well an be a productuve person. An theres nothing yet. I have been researching an came across Ketamin is being given for depression now. They give in an IV drip. They have Ketamin Clinics to go to. Theres great youtube videos about it.
This a shortened version of my relationship with Oxy. Most have turned to heroine now. Oxys hard to come by now. Check out the videoss an forget f ing Oxy! Like this one said before my comment! Nothing good will come from using it!
As of writing opiod pain medication has been found since about 2014 to be a breakthrough drug in treating depression as well suicidal ideation. As a clinical sufferer of both I have this to be true and related to my doctors, pain specialists included. It's a problem area though of course. In this year and the last the drug wars attention has been turned to this and related medications and is pushing the notion of phasing them out. The other is where to legitimately report such positive side effects? I haven't met a doctor yet that made note of this nor took it seriously. Lastly the hang-up that it's also reported to cause. Noting this tends to occur from withdrawal and general in conjunction with persons whom are not already biologically predisposed to depression, and pretty much any psyche med will have that adverse effect. Imo I want to see this open to other depressed people and I do not endorse exiling any medication that has any known positive effects rather applying stricter regulation as the latter tends to create a vacuum by making it exclusive to street dealers as well opens the door to go after any medication. I believe in moderation this medication is harmless and beneficial, for depression only I would go the route of 5mg x1 a day in conjunction with an anti-anxiety drug where need be. Else a side track here I believe the solution to overdose problem increases is to prescribed anti-overdose medication (Narcon/Naloxone) which most states cover by law now. Further analysis is that the alternatives seem to be Gabapentin, which is now itself bypassing known pain medications in street popularity or Morphine for terminal illness (I shouldn't have to spell out the logic hole here). Lastly that Carfentanil is set to become the new "king" street drug and will climb over such drugs as Oxycodone as Oxycodone did to Vicodin, else Fentanyl fills the gap so the negative push will be pardon the expression, a past drug, before a solid plan of action is in place anyways so therefore it's all moot. As is historically truth in the drug abuse game of course.

Oxycodone helps me also as an antidepresant . It's called Off shelfing. The same with the use of Ketmaine which is having amazing effects on suicidal depression, I had a pain doctor that used to give me 8 30.s a day and I was doing wonderful. Then because the CDC The DEA and whoever else thinks they can tell me what Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy, MS, Fibromyalgia, Cluster and migraine heads, PTSD etc. they cut me down to 4 30's a day. CRPS is nick named the suicide disease because nobody has the courage to treat us of make a damn exception for the most painful disease that exists. If there isnt money to be made off of us then we are screwed and no one care. Not even the government. Should it be fair that someone with a twist finger and someone with CRPS and host of other things should be on the same exact medicine? No, its sick and it wrong and someone has to have courage soon or later to say at least let this one group of patients that feel like people are putting their cigarettes out on them all day might not choose to take their life because someone finally stood up for us.
Opiates are not the answer, and sorry to debate your point, but they are not a good option for pain management, they are a last resort. I have had a lot of experience with them as a patient. I have had Chronic Pancreatitis since I was a child im in my mid 20s now, I have found that Opiates in the short term will make you feel better, physically/emotionally. But long term use can actually worsen depression before you even begin to deal with the withdrawal, which if you become addicted to can lead to worse things and literally ruin your life or kill you. They are very dangerous drugs that people don't understand, which is why the "opiate epidemic" is such a big deal in today's world. Seek another alternative.
I was on Xanax for over or approx. 25 years I detoxed from Xanax in 2015.when I came home I found some Xanax in my desk drawer I was having an argument with my Mom and naturally it triggered me into an emotional panic and of course I took 1/2 of a Ten mg I thought I'd go crazy cause I hated itFor many years before I was able to enjoy my liquor but this time {2013-2015} I was drinking alone and I was mixing the 2 I hadda stop.Now I cannot RUN to anything anymore I've been sober for 4 years however I have been dipping my finger in small amounts of powder Oxy's {30's} !! I have nothing left till this week although I do not have a Rx script I am unable to endure my depressive state of mind and hoping I will the right Anti D next week.cause so far nothing is working !!!!! I am Lexapro nowI am sick and my head is spinning all the time my heart races and I am in a semi panic mode all the time oftentimes I feel as if I have throw up. I can never enjoy the taste the wine or any other form of alcohol and it SUCKS I can talk a lot and laugh out loud when I'm with my boyfriend but when I am alone and I speak to MoM I am emotionally debilitated and oftentimes I hate to discuss anything !!She thinks I'm having a mood thing she doesn't realize my anger is pain and not understand so when she aggravates me I become loud while defending myself she defines it as being out of control ??? The thing is she say's IT'S ALWAYS ME and NOT HER ? so this must mean I am upset for nothing? Perhaps the therapist can see the dynamics between us when the time comes ! I am over 60 years youngand she's old school Repression is a killer .when one is unable to communicate with another re their pain it triggers a debilitating scenarioso what do I do? get more Anti D's ? and them what still be in the same emotional slump again? cause without empathy and or communication what's the sense of even hoping for a possible perfect AntiD ? it would take some kinda magic elixir!!! ! Thank you .
