Vicodin Treatment For Depression?
Q.When Opioid Treatment for Depression & Pain Was Still Accepted Most people who have been diagnosed with chronic depression and anxiety have probably been prescribed modern anti-depression and anxiety medications such as Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil and other SSRI related medications which seem to be the favorite choice of every modern doctor of the 21st century.
A.I'm new to this newsgroup. I found this article online in an RSS feed and am interested in your opinions in regards to opioid treatment for chronic depressed and severely traumatized people. Please let me know what you think.. Unfortunately these new anti-anxiety and depression medications do not come without side effects and only a small percentage of its users reports that these medications do indeed balance their moods to the point where they can say they truly feel comfortable over longer periods of time. One of the most common experienced side-effect of SSRI's is decreased sexual appetite which in turn is often treated with other commercial medications such as Viagra, Uprima or Cialis. It is also known that people who suffer chronic depression are more sensitive to pain and the other way around people who suffer severe chronic pain are likely to become depressed due to disturbed chemical balances in the brain. In the time of the ancient Greeks opium was the most common remedy to treat feelings of melancholy, anxiety and both physical and emotional pain. Opium was also a common medicine in the Chinese culture which has a very long history of advanced medical knowledge alike many other cultures that have been using opium for many years. Opium is very cheap to produce, extremely easy to make and has many useful properties which is the reason that this medication has been utilized by ancient cultures even several 1000's of years before Christ.
