I wouldnt want to ever go against what a dr says however they are trained to medicate.If your clean I think it would be a step backwards to get on an addictive opiate.(just my opinion) I am a relapser also we need to keep our program up front and not get complacent.I also have depression issues Lexipro seemed to give me a push out of the winter blahs I seem to get every year.Good Luck to you I wish you happiness
