I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Before you see your new psychiatrist, do some research on opioids and depression both on the web in general and in the PB archives. The research on opioids for treating depression is sparse but there. The two opioids for which there is some research are buprenorphine and tramadol.
I'm a strong believer in the use of opioids for depression. If it weren't for the spectre of tolerance opioids would be perfect ADs for many people (including me).
Good Luck and Feel Better,
Britt
