> Addiction is a constant rehersal of justifying drug abuse. Opiates are not antidepressants!
Whether or not it is true that opiates (or SSRI's) are antidepressants is pretty subjective.
For some people they are. How can you argue that Quintal is not getting an AD effect from opiates? He states that he is.
Conventional wisdom regards opiates to be too problematic to be widely used as antidepressants.
I have experienced depressing effects from typical antidepressants and this goes against conventional wisdom too.If our brains followed the rules properly most of us wouldn't be here searching.
