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, this indicates findrxonline in his article about depression.
ResponderSuprimirUnfortunately 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.
I am still surprised why Hydrocodone is not used in patients with severe chronic depression and anxiety or in people that are so depressed that they attempt to commit suicide. Tests show that moderate use of Hydrocodone in depressed and suicidal patients is much more effective then the traditional medications currently promoted for depression. Although Hydrocodone has addictive properties and should only be taken under close supervision it could help improve the quality of live of many people. Especially for in-patient treatment this should be considered. For some reason it is accepted to take pain medication, such as Hydrocodone if you experience tooth ache but if the pain is caused by chronic psychological traumas this is unacceptable according to current law. Alcoholics have reported to quiet drinking when treated with Hydrocodone and have been able to keep a job and function normally in our society. Suicidal patients who had given up all hope were able to enjoy live again. Severely depressed and anxiety patients were able to move on with their lives… Should we really support this war on drugs and now also try to take these medications away from chronic pain patients?
