> HYDROCODONE - the active opioid in Vicodin - has been the best antidepressant I've ever taken. Of course, I've never been prescribed it for depression. There have been many times when I have been severely depressed, unable to get out of bed for days, filled with terrible apathy, anxiety, bone-crushing fatigue, zero motivation, extreme hopelessness and within one hour of taking one dose of Vicodin (from a prescription from a recent surgery) all of those symptoms are erased. I get out of bed, turn on music, clean my apt. go to movies with friends, etc. etc.
>I can totally relate to that one. I've gone through a period in the last year where I've been a bit experimental with drug use... but discovered I don't like many drugs too much. But hydrocodone.. now THAT is another story. By far the best anti-depressant around. Also a great anxiotylic, though at times it will induce irritability and/or social anxiety.
Anyway, I had no idea it was possible to feel THAT great before I tried it. Of course, when you like a drug THAT much... you're probably going to have problems. Luckily I've stayed away from physical dependency, but I've come pretty close.
