loosmrbls,
> My experience has been that these drugs mask, not relieve, depression.
Okay, maybe this is your point. Like if you're depressed and go out and drink every night, then the next day you are still depressed--perhaps even more so (rebound effect). Is that what you mean? For one night your depression is masked? But if you took an ad, your depression would be relieved.
Yes, I guess I could see that someone could use opiates in that way. But also, there is another way--basically taking them like ads. No real difference from other drugs in relieving depression.
Sorry, I didn't really mean to ask the question and then answer it, but it came to me what you might mean only after I had submitted the first post.
So, that saves you some time, right? Feel free to amend.
Shelli
