I've taken Norco and Tramadol before to help with ovarian cysts and other medical issues. But now I find that when my depression becomes unbearable, I tend to turn to opiates as a way to numb it all out vs cutting. I am going through an incredible amount of stress and depression. Now that I'm in my early adult years, I've started to notice the development of symptoms very typical of Bi-polar depression, which I have yet to be diagnosed and treated for, but it explains everything.
