That sounds like a terrible idea. My husband died from an opiate overdose after getting addicted because of a back injury. I don't know why anyone would even consider using opiates for bipolar treatment. I bet it WOULD reduce symptoms since it's a mind altering drug, but at what cost?

I'm sorry I'm just very passionate about opiate use and abuse after losing my husband to addiction. I would never touch the stuff. I don't care if it would help.
