Re: I have been on pain medication 10 years

Mike, I feel your pain... After 5 years on meds, I just weaned off of all
of them and I can't say I'm too happy... My head is clear though for the
first time in a long time.

I can also totally relate to the depression. I was depressed way before the
back problem. I agree very strongly with Old Goat. You've got to take care
of the depression or you'll sit at home and feel sorry for yourself and do
nothing. That black cloud just smothers any
hope for a better life. You just can't see anything else but your pain and
f'd up life.

But, anti-depressants are very individual and what works for some doesn't
work for others. They all have side affects - some more tolerable depending
on your body chemisty.
