By legitimate needs I assume you mean pain management??? I am not sure. Does someone who takes them for pain and has depression get an anti depressant benefit from them. If that is the case I would call it a bonus. If you need to take them for legit reasons and they help with depression....all the better.

I have heard of studies where opiate use for really bad pain does not cause addiction and a high. I am not sure if this is true. If I remember right the studies were done in England for heroine and cancer patients. I believe heroine for medical use is legal there.
