Kendyll, I read an article in a popular magazine a couple of months ago about using small doses of narcotics as an anti-depressant. In the U.S., the medical establishment is leery of this because of the anti-narcotics phobia here. But there is a body of literature on using narcotics against depression. The narcotic used is one that is not addictive, and it is only in small doses. For the author of this article, it was a lifesaver and the only thing that helped her. If you are interested in this article, I will look up the reference for you.
