> My GP told me that he prescribes 'off-label' every day, He says that many off label uses of meds do not make it into the PDR due to economic reasons
Yes. The only AED that was ever labeled for bipolar disorder, for example, is Depakote. Tegretol never made it, and Lamictal is being studied. Lithium augmentation for unipolar depression is off-label. So is the use of psychomotor stimulants such as Ritalin, and, similarly, of antidepressants such as Wellbutrin for ADHD. MAOIs are some of the most effective drugs for panic disorder and social phobia, but they're only labelled for nonmelancholic depression (they work for melancholia too, BTW!). Imipramine, the first drug ever used for panic disorder (and the drug that was used to "pharmacologically dissect" panic disorder from other types of anxiety disorders), is not labeled for this use. Meridia, which is both chemically and pharmacodynamically similar to Effexor, is marketed as an antiobesity drug (of all things). SSRIs have a variety of FDA-approved indications, but they all are probably about equally effective for depression, panic disorder, bulimia, PMS, etc. Luvox and Anafranil aren't even labeled for depression or panic disorder (only for OCD), although both have been used for depression and PD for years in Europe.

> An "opiate" is any set of various SEDATIVE narcotics which dulls the senses and induces relaxation or torpor; inducing sleep or sedation; soporific; causing dullness or apathy; deadening.
You seem to be using a very outdated definition, perhaps one that was used before the opioid receptor was discovered. The effects you describe are more characteristic of barbiturates than of opiates.
"Opiate" is a term that refers to drugs that act as agonists at a particular receptor. Often it is used to include synthetic drugs, although technically I believe that only the active components of opium (morphine and codeine) are "opiates" ("opioids" is the more inclusive term).
Opioids are not simply "sedatives" or CNS depressants and have different effects on different people (just like any drug). They have both excitatory (increasing the rate of neuronal firing; CNS stimulant) and inhibitory (decreasing the rate of firing; CNS depressant) properties. Once again, they are defined by their chemical and pharmacological activity, not by their observed effects -- which, again, vary.
I have taken several drugs of the opioid agonist type, all of which were primarily activating rather than sedating. Sedation is not necessarily a bad characteristic for an antidepressant, in any case: most people find tricyclics such as amitriptyline, imipramine, and clomipramine sedating, but they have been recognised as effective antidepressants for more than 40 years (and yes, they do have CNS depressant activity). (Opioids, incidentally, were known to be effective ADs long before the tricyclics, amphetamines, or even barbiturates were discovered.)
"Narcotic" is mainly a legal term today and has (appropriately) been all but dropped from medicine.
> If you thought unconventionally, you may fool yourself into believeing that the soporific effect may "lessen" the doldrums of depression, but that's not a judicious or wise approach given the addictive nature of the opiate family.
It takes an addictive personality and addictive behaviour to produce addiction -- an addictive drug won't make an addict by itself.
> Over dinner the other night, I asked a psychiatrist from the Yale Psychiatric Clinic (YPI) whether he would prescribe an "opiate" to relieve depression. Without looking up, he said "No, that's ludicrous."
He should consult the literature, then, rather than speak without thinking.
> I've yet to encounter a doctor who does this, so you must be one of the lucky ones who has a doctor who does this sort of off-beat thing. How lucky can you get?
Lucky enough to live near a major medical centre where research into novel treatments is common?
> Opitates are not used for depression. To even think such a thing is an insult to the medical profession.
This is incorrect.
> I will tell you one other thing: if you do get optiates to treat your so-called depression, and then you're shut off, you will experience the REAL depression you faked to begin with to get them. So who's fooling whom here? Not me.
Oh jeez -- the conclusion that anybody who you disagree with isn't "really" depressed? *Please.* This is simply uncalled for.
I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (severe with melancholia) for more than 10 years, by multiple psychiatrists. (I do not "doctor shop," though I'm sure you'd love to make that accusation; I have moved several times during the last decade and every one of my pdocs has had access to my records and has consulted with the previous one.) I have responded to opioids after failing to respond fully to every class of conventional antidepressant as well as stimulants, anticonvulsants, lithium, etc. For the last two years I have taken a synthetic opioid partial agonist called buprenorphine which was recommended by a well respected physician-researcher at a Harvard-affiliated hospital whose credentials and experience are enough to permit him the opportunity to go against convention and whose intellect permits him to think outside the box. It really doesn't matter if you assume I am a drug addict who is just faking depression. You are a non-professional with no relevant formal education and an apparent political agenda, and you have demonstrated quite clearly that you are perfectly comfortable ignoring the facts of any situation if they are inconsistent with your prejudices.

Just read your well written response, I'm glad you have had access to such knowledgeable pdocs. Another effective use for opiates is for treatment resistant panic disorder; my pdoc has also prescribed them for depression. And he also is part of a well-respected reasearch program. Take care, judy

> I'm willing to bet that the people endorsing opiates for depression have not tried every more convential treatment for depression.
"Every?" You mean, like, every one of the 10 or so tricyclics, 5 SSRIs, 4 MAOIs (more in some countries), 6 or so miscellaneous atypical ADs, and augmentation with every mood stabilizer, lithium, BuSpar, pindolol, every antipsychotic, all available psychostimulants, high-dose alprazolam, ECT, folate, total and partial sleep deprivation...do I have to go on? Or do you get the idea?
I've taken pretty much all of the above. Here are the exceptions:
- only tried 3 TCAs (desipramine, nortriptyline, and amoxapine) and didn't tolerate them due to typical anticholinergic/antihistaminic TCA side effects that are known to be *worse* with other TCAs
- only tried a couple antipsychotics (Zyprexa most extensively, also Seroquel, Risperdal, Moban, Mellaril) and only, except for Zyprexa, in augmentation doses (Mellaril and Moban knocked me out at minimal doses, Risperdal caused unacceptable exacerbation of my RBD)
- only 3 SSRIs (Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft)
- skipped Tegretol, Topamax (but other AEDs were useless)
- ECT is, in my judgment, less safe than buprenorphine (which I know first-hand to be safe and effective), so I never bothered with it
- never took antidepressant doses of trazodone for more than a couple days
- didn't bother trying to order Manerix from overseas because it has such a lousy rep, especially compared with the traditional MAOIs which I did try (Nardil, Marplan, Parnate, *and* high-dose selegiline)
- haven't tried taking high-dose Xanax around the clock
- haven't tried some of the weaker stimulants that are marketed for weight loss (e.g., phentermine) or Desoxyn (did try modafinil)
- never tried high-dose (60-90mg) buspirone
- I am absolutely uninterested in St. John's wortSo there's your counterexample. I think that it's unreasonable to expect me to try a RIMA when irreversible, nonselective MAOIs didn't work, or to keep trying SSRIs or TCAs. Also please bear in mind that I'm not bipolar or psychotic.
I have a minor interest in trying Aricept or Desoxyn, but it's nontrivial to convince a pdoc to prescribe either of these (Aricept because of my REM sleep parasomnia, Desoxyn because, well, it's methamphetamine -- although it might be safer with MAOIs than Dexedrine or Adderall). I would also consider high-dose buspirone, or possibly Meridia (Effexor is out due to a life-threatening ADR).
> I maintain that if one writes a list of psychotropic medications one has taken, I can always find 10 other viable and legitimate medications to try.
Please, by all means. Me-too drugs (like other SSRIs, TCAs, stimulants, or neuroleptics) don't count. Anything that has to be ordered from overseas is only marginally "viable." Anything that is only available through premarketing trials is out of the question (I usually don't qualify for clinical trials because they require you to be off all AD meds, which my doctor and I both feel is an unacceptable risk in my case).
So, there are the rules. I think they're quite fair given the grandiosity of your claim. Go for it.

Just a "me too!" to Shelli. I share your frustration with constantly being put on the defensive about the medication I take, medication which was legitimately prescribed in consultation with a true expert. I think it is only to be expected that one would be resentful of being treated like a liar by well-meaning but self-righteous people who appear to think they know what's best for others and who ignore the clearly-stated details of one's situation.
> It seems to me that most of you don't even read the whole thread before you rush in to save our opiate souls.
Indeed. The anti-opiate movement on this board seems to share many of the qualities of a fundamentalist religious crusade!
Thanks for saying it, all of it. To me, this quality of support represents the best that this board has to offer (because even though you're speaking for yourself, I know you're aware that others of us have been subject to the same offensive and ignorant accusations and generalisations as you have).

> I've heard many stories of people suing their doctors over some pretty absurd things. Dr. Bodkin takes particular risks in that he is willing to work with patients who may be personality-disordered (which often is associated with a tendency to blame other people for one's problems -- e.g., a patient misuses or overdoses on medication, then blames the doctor). I take Dr. B's willingness to work with these "difficult" patients as a sign of exceptional compassion.Elizabeth, yes, I believe the scenario with the law suit is very close to what you described above, and I didn't take it that Dr. Bodkin had done anything wrong. If I don't find someone around here that I highly respect to consult with, I may fly up to Boston. I also have an old friend living in Somerset. Still, in the long run it would be best to find someone in my immediate area. He did make the suggestion of going up very high on selegiline, but I'm not really anxious to go off the nardil and start again with a new MAOI, unless perhaps it was the patch.

> "Elizabeth. I talked to Dr. Bodkin briefly today...He will do a consultation, but will not proscribe codeine because of a prior _law suit_{!}."See my response concerning patients who sue their doctors (certain types will do so at the drop of a hat). I know Dr. Bodkin, and in fact he first recommended buprenorphine to me. He's not a quack by any means.

I am hopeful that you will still be able to find an effective pharmacological treatment, despite having tried so many of them. I got some nice ideas for you:
1) Mirapex - proven as effective as imipramine in depression:
Corrigan MH, Denahan AQ, Wright CE, Ragual RJ, Evans DL. Comparison of pramipexole, fluoxetine, and placebo in patients with major depression. Depress Anxiety. 2000;11(2):58-65.
DeBattista C, Solvason HB, Breen JA, Schatzberg AF. Pramipexole augmentation of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor in the treatment of depression. J Clin Psychopharmacol. 2000 Apr;20(2):274-5.
2) Pindolol - it once was a wonder drug for me that I took without an antidepressant, (but most people will need one). Pindolol is a beta-blocker, the only one of its class known to speed up and augment the action of antidepressants. The main studies done (found on Medline) have used it most effectively with sertraline, although it has been tried and proven effective with most of the SSRIs, tranylcypromine and moclobemide, and a few of the tricyclics. See Dr. Bob's
Psychopharmacology website (uhs.bsd.uchicago.edu/~bhsiung/tips/tips.html) and look up pindolol for more information.
New York University Psychiatry Augmentation website: http://www.med.nyu.edu/Psych/aug/index.html3) Definitely try Tegretol XR if you get a chance.
Its very tolerable.4) Ludiomil (MAPROTILINE) - that's a good one that few have heard about since it came out around the time Prozac came out and was overshadowed by Prozac. It is a tetracyclic with efficacy comparable to SSRI's and no sexual side-effects.
5) Geodon (ziprasidone) - works on serotonin and norepinephrine with little weight gain or sedation.
6) BuSpar - only effective in depression at higher doses according to the last study done on it and depression.
7) Serzone - I was on it for a month with no side-effects.
Thyroid Hormones T3 + T4 - pioneered by Dr. Whybrow at UCLA.
Foreign drugs: *Reboxetine, *Moclobemide (I can prove that it is effective, albeit not more than irreversible MAOI's), *Mianserin, *Tianeptine, *Modafanil, Brofaromine, *Amisulpride, *Adrafanil. Others: Bromocriptine, Ropinirole (another dopamine agonist), Norvasc(?), Pemoline(?) (a stimulant), *Seroquel, Tamoxifen(?), Doxepin, Yohimbine, the new Depakote _ER_, Nomifensine.Please ask me about any of these if you have questions. I've been on them all.

There is pysical pain, and there is mental pain. They are different. I believe that's why they probably make different drugs for each. :-)

I believe that's why they probably make different drugs for each. :-)I find that when I`m in the worst depression I do hurt physically as well as mentally-it`s like I`m just one overwhelming ball of pain. I wouldn`t take opiates for it though-I know it`s not the kind of pain they can fix. (Not that the many different antidepressants I have tried have helped either). But I don`t see anything wrong with Elizabeth choosing to take medication prescribed and supervised by a respected researcher and it`s annoying to see Eric pop back with his insulting attacks on her.

I know what your saying..... but I guess I'm talking more about the physical pain of saying like your back hurts or something. Physical pain such as what comes from cancer.... or muscle deterorations, or whatnot.... really aren't the same as mental pain. I've tried AD's before.. and tho they may have worked in making me feel better emotionally... they didn't touch my pysical pain. Unfortuanely. I agree.... Eric(?) is out of line.... but don't concern yourself with it too much... as soon as Dr. Bob sees it, he'll be blocked. For him to express himself in that way.... means he is having some really horrible mental anguish of some sort.... I know, when I first read his stuff I felt horrible for Elizabeth.... and tho I may not agree with some of elizabeths posts either... she doesn't deserve that kind of attack. So if your reading this elizabeth..... he'll be gone soon. Take it with a grain of salt.

Actually AD`s (tricyclics in particular) are often prescribed for patients with chronic physical pain (though who knows if they really help the pain or merely help the patient cope with it better because he`s less depressed). It`s hard to separate the mind and body. Physical pain is definitely a lot easier to treat than mental pain, though, if the doctor is willing to treat it, which many are not for fear of addiction, even if the patient is terminally ill. Wheras there are a lot of people whose depresssions haven`t responded to any of the available meds or to therapy.
I just wish the drug companies would spend less money on TV commercials extolling the virtues of the drugs already available and more on researching new ones.

Elizabeth, I just got to the board and I'm really sorry that there is this attack going on. It seems bad, but remember the attack only involves two people, two repetitive people. So, I imagine it should be over soon.
Please, I hope you do not feel the need to defend yourself. Yesterday you wrote posts to people doing that, and I wonder whether that's where you really want to spend your energy. It's your call, but I wouldn't bother.
Mostly I hope it doesn't get in the way of the posts we (you, and I and Cecilia,Scott and others) have been exchanging. They have had useful information and support. I suppose this will ride over fairly soon and I don't intend to censor my thoughts or my medications on the board because of others' bullying.
So hang in there, and know that you have done all you can to find a way to beat your depression. It's a beautiful, beautiful mother's day sunday on the east coast, and I hope you are out, away from all this negativity.
