Go see doc again: Go see your prescribing doctor again. Tell him/her what you just noted above. You may need a higher dose of same antidepressant or different antidepressant. More importantly, you should get some kind of counseling & psychotherapy, perhaps Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You should also get referral to Pain or Addiction doc re your opioid use.
