in more detail ive been diagnosed with ptsd from a murder i witnessed when i was 18 or so and have abandonment issues from childhood plus depression, and anxiety issues on top of havin add and adhd.. im 27 now and am in school for hvac and have been taking loracets nearly everyday and intermittantly taking soma and kalanopin on a regular basis... at school when im on loracets im like energetic and im better than ever at doing what i do. im more attentive pay more attention to detail and more eager to learn and i dont really get messed up i have a high tolerance for pills but would like to know why when im not on them im an emotionaly rollercoaster, cant be positive, im an asshole, im a smartass and i tend to bring people down when around me because of my moods so why do you think im havin to take these pills to be normal would like to also add the i do sometimes go weeks without taking the pills and never have withdrawels or anything like that so its not an addiction and there is nothin subconcious goin on here as far as i know.... up until i got on the pills i was a wreck i think its more of a intellectual trouble but i cant figure out what it may be and why loracets, a pain pill, would actually be what makes me feel the best and fixes these problems when its a freakin pain tablet i mean wtf?
Your body has created a dependence on it. You feel happy and normal on pills because your body is addicted to it. And when your not on it, you feel like hell because you want it subconsciously
Well taking meds over a long period of time will get your brain used to whatever chemical is being taken. Eventually you build up a tolerance and when you stop you have even less of that natural chemical than before the drugs because your brain isn't having the chemical handed to it anymore. Eventually you will go back to normal but it takes a while for the synapses to lucid
All three drugs you are taking are habit forming. You might do well to taper off of those drugs and replace them with lexapro 2.5 mg daily to begin (to help with both Add and depression), and a benzodiazepine as needed like valium to reduce your anxiety.
