Why Isn't Lortab Sometimes Used to Help Depression? Posted: 10-27-07 20:32pm
I know this is not a politically correct
question, but I was prescribed lortab
after a surgery. I had some left over. One
day, when I was out of my anti depressant,
Lexapro, I took a Lortab. I realized it
instantly helped to elevate my mood. I
realize Lortab is addictive, but so are
many often prescribed anti-depressants and
sleep aids. Why is it not used in this
way? Or why aren't there at least some
antideprssants that work in a similar way?

Lortab is usually perscribed strickly for
pain. That is why they gave it to you
after your surgery.
The reason why it worked so well as a
sleep aid is because it knocks you out and
you can't have anxiety when you are
knocked out and sleeping that well. Nope,
that is only used as pain relief and yes,
very addicting it is.
Medications for anxiety have the right
componients in them to block the brain
from having attacks or bad ones at least.
