The Opiate Cure: Pain and the Bipolar Spectrum Robert T. Cochran Md Jr

The Opiate Cure tells the stories of painful people whose mental illness were relieved when they were given opioids for their chronic pain. This improbable outcome has occurred in those with bipolar depression and mania, attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and narcolepsy. These several diseases are now linked together, constituting the bipolar spectrum. Linked also to bipolar spectrum is chronic pain in its many forms, including migraine. This book will clearly demonstrate that bipolar spectrum is uniquely responsive to opioid therapy. The Opiate Cure offers new insights and, more importantly, hope for those with acute and/or chronic pain.
