Depression is the pits!!!

[kell737]

I've been clean from percocet and Vicodin for 30 days now.  The worst part of all the withdrawls for me has been depression.  Does anyone know what you can do for that, OTHER than Anti-depressent drugs.  I don't want to switch one drug for another  but I was wondering if there is anything else someone has done to help with this.  Thank in advance for any responses.

Kel,
You'll be alright. After abusing pills as strong as opiates, I doubt you'll find anti-depressants addictive. But if you don't want to take them that's OK too! I'm a very sad person, but there's a couple things that help me feel a little better. I write in a Journal everyday, it helps me and I hope to someday be able to look back on it and be thankful that I don't feel like that anymore.
I don't know if you believe in God? But I for one have given up waiting for the people in my life to help me. A quote - "There was never a person who did anything worth doing for someone else that he did not recieve more then he gave" - Henry Ward Beecher.
Try praying to God when you feel completely alone. If you believe in God then you know you're not (alone).
I don't know anything that will 'cure' your depression, because like I said i'm pretty sad myself. But just some suggestions, the journal thing is actually a pretty good one! Good Luck! -Sis

Well to add some hope for people here with teh depression thing.  After i am NOT using for about 2 weeks  my mental status gets gradually better.  Everytime I quit, i feel soo much better after a month or so.
   I just want people to know that there is hope for depression.  I am getting ready to quit again soon and I cant wait  to not wake up in the morning with utter and sheer panic that the hydro has made me.   I have become a recluse at 33  cause of these drugs.  I forgo and social obligations cause I ratehr stay home and take the hydro because weh I leave i get panic.  Whenever I wake up in the morning, I usually throw up.  I travel extebnsively for my job, so you can imagine how I feel when I have to leave my aprtment.
   Anyway,  at least for me,  it DOES get better over time and i relish that day again when I dont take the hydro.
