WHY IS it when we stop the pills WE GET SO DEPRESSED AND LOW ENERGY WHY OUR brain or what im getting ready for the w\d and wanting info and scared please i need infor on that love youall yspearing
well it is because when we are using all the crap around us does not matter &
we a NUMB, and so when we are off of the pills we are feeling again for the first time in a long time & it is scarry were not use to feeling, and it hits all at once, that is what happened to me..
it will pass and so not get on anti depressants it makes it worse!! i wanted to kill my self when i was on prozac, ahhh, i got off of it asap and felt soooo much better!!
i describe being sober as a drug i do not like, we all just need to get use to it as all, it sucks because being high is so much better but we can not live like this as it will kill us sooner or later, the vicious cycle of addiction, i hate it so much!!
surrender it to your higher power and do things that make u happy.. try it and go to a meeting a talk about your feelings, do not hold them in as it doesnt benifit you if you go and don't talk about it, trust me i know all to well, and if you feel comfotable talking in the meeting then talk to some one out side of the meeting after, they will help u thru this, they did 4-me..
take care & i hope that things get better 4-U!! fa

Yspearing,
Fellow addict gave some good advice there. Also there is a biochemical mechanism which affects the release of endorphines in the brain. When you come off those meds. it's like your body forgets it needs to make it's own endorphines now and this takes months to really normalize. It does but so slowly. It's like your body is a factory making feel good food for the brain. You take meds and they take over your factory. So the factory says okay I'm all done here. I don't have to make it cuz it's coming from the drugs. I think I'll go on a holiday. Then your drugs are reduced or stopped and your body is still out on the holiday. So you call em up and say hey come on back I need ya. And they come on back by train instead of airplane. Oh Yspearing it takes time honey. Ya gotta hang in there and be strong and you can do it. Don't ever give up. As for the antidepressants ............ some people are helped greatly by these and some people aren't. Different antidepressants work differently for each person. So if ya can't stand it you can always try and see if you get relief. Eventually you will kick your own body's ability to make these endorphines. Also there is the fact that you are use to the high and now you aren't high and you have to let it go. There are so many factors for the depression. Build your support strong around you okay?

THANK YOU ALL GOOD ADVICE LOVE YOU ALL YSPEARING
Ok on the subject of wd. When I came off of my vics 18 months ago I did it in rehab. Thay had me on Phenobarb and I really didn't have to many wd symptoms. I am getting ready to stop taking vics after I broke my arm 2 1/2 months ago. Am I going to go through bad wd? They say every time you relapse it gets harder to stop. I really have only been taking about 6 aday and the last 3 days only had 2/day. I think my biggest fear is going through wd. I want to stop before it gets any worse but my crazy way of thinking is elling me I'm ok!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so frustrating. Ann
It has been about two months since I have touched any pills. I crave for them real bad that I get real moody and get really depressed. Why do I get real bad headaches that I can't help
besides a bunch of other things with neurotransmitters, etc, the brain is always trying to keep itself in balance. When u start opiates & flood ur brain with em it actually creates more receptors, wn u quit there are all these receptors & no opiates, eventually the receptors close & the reactions range from euphoria to disphoria for a couple hours or days over the next 6 mos to 1 year. Ultimately ur brain gets normal. Meanwhile, you might try getting lexapro or other antidepressents from Dr.
