I’ve been addicted to percocet (oxycodone) for a couple years now and I can’t stop… it’s the only thing that helps my depression which is extremely bad and I seriously have terrible back pain, insomnia which only perks cure. I don’t know any doctor who will prescribe me these no matter what I tell them… a bad part about it is now I mix other prescription medication with it like Tynerol3 or 4 which is Codeine 30\60mg and Tynerol 300mg. I also take a few klonopins along with it. Yes I get twisted but not as bad as I use to, my tolerance is just very strong and it’s been that way with everything in my life… alcohol, weed… I just need a lot of everything. I’m only 5’8″ 145lbs… fairly normal sized person imo.

My friend had been having a hard time with life for a while, and moderatly depressed too. She just started drinking regularly in the past few months, but a few weeks ago everything kinda went downhill and she started drinking a lot more and much more often. She gave up for a little bit and was borderline alcoholic until about 6 days ago when me and my friends convinced her to stop drinking altogether, for at least 2 weeks to stop the addiction. Later we will help her get back to moderation. She wasn’t QUITE addicted yet, but was in the early stages of it.
Now she is motivated to stop that problem, she’s a very strong girl who just took a wrong turn. But we both think she is experiencing some withdrawl symptoms. She gets scattered, short episodes of extreme depression sometimes. And she doesn’t usually get those, at least not near that bad. She also has woken up a few times feeling like she has a hangover but hadn’t drinken anything the night before. Sometimes she gets a bit irritable and for a couple days would shake at times. She says at times, alcohol is her every other thought, and that anything that has alcohol in it (face toner, cooking spray, ect) smells a lot like hard liquor. I can tell she’s slowly getting better each day, and even tho her confidence and “good old self” are coming back, she still sometimes worries about the symptoms.
So… has anybody been or known someone who was alcoholic or borderline alcoholic who experienced some noticable symptoms of withdrawl when they quit? Any advice helps, but please keep it positive and/or neutral because this is a sensitive subject! Thanks!

My boyfriends doctor prescribed him wellburtin for depression knowing he is an alcholic. I am doing my research on it the medicine and it says that if he takes it with alcohol it can cause seizures. Any ideas why the doctor would do this?

I used to smoke pot but I got tired of it. Now I am on Klonopin instead and its helping my tremors, burning, tingling, and numbness. Could it be that this can be more addicting than alcohol

Okay… So I’ve been feeling this way for a little over a year and a half now and I’m sick of it, so I want to see what I can do to fix it. I’d like to have an idea of what’s wrong with me before I walk into the doctor’s office though.

1. Worried. Constantly. About everyday things that really aren’t that big of deal. Something as simple as driving to the grocery store calls for about 20 minutes of analysis. I constantly feel like everyone’s staring at me, judging me, and even though I’m surrounded by friends all of the time and people tell me that they absolutely adore me, I constantly question whether or not they, or even my family for that matter, really like me or care about me at all, or if they just hang out with me to be nice. Even when I have no reason to worry, I worry.

i heard on the news he was in a club and everyone saw him falling over and stuff :/ i <3 his music and think it would be a shame if he threw it all away cos of his drinking

we have an auricular point chart but the names of the points are in Chinese.

I am 38, mother of 4, and 3 step children (all living with me ages 2-17). I have a supportive family, but have been battling depression for almost 20 years if not longer. My dad was an alcoholic vietnam vet so I know I have a touch of secondhand PT SD due to the alcohol and guns. Been to many Dr’s. for treatment all to no avail. 2 hospital stays (one due to cutting in depressed state) and other for vicodin addiction (the only thing that ever kept me from being depressed and feeling happy and energetic). Now on Pristiq, adderal xr, and today dr. wants to add wellbutrin (been on it already). I feel so hopeless to the point I wonder if I am actually going crazy. No dr has given me an exact diagnosis..just more pills. Esp, the week before my cycle, is SO bad. I visualize killing myself, think about what I would write in suicide notes to my kids, etc..I cry and get angry. I would never do that to my babies. It feels like my soul is in a constant state of torment and I want to feel better for myself and children. I feel foggy headed half of the time waiting for the next time ” I don’t feel right”..can anyone relate? I have been to psychiatrists, therapists, Dr’s for the last 10 years. I feel I truly am mentally exhausted and the stress of raising these kids with a husband working his butt off just to pay bills is crazy. Sometimes I feel like such a bad mother, a loser, for thinking such bad thoughts but sometimes I can’t get them out of my head, esp. at night.
Please don’t be mean and leave nasty comments for fun….this is very serious to me. I am in such a bad spot and feel like I can’t get out.

I wanted to know your opinion on this.

I don’t have to know the details to tell there is something wrong with it. A Psychiatrist may prescribe a pill for you in just 10 minutes. Without any testing, without any evidence of how the drug works, or even evidence there is something wrong with the brain/nervous system to have it treated. Its nonsense. A person’s mental health problems can have MANY causes and it could be MANY things. Thousands of ailments with each dozens or hundreds of cure.

You cannot just blindly prescribe a powerful pill. The nervous system is very complex and very delicate. You cannot be giving powerful pills to a healthy person (or make a mistake diagnosis). They will just end up worse. It will be a disaster. You will actually CAUSE an imbalance. It is all very delicate. In fact you would not cure them, make them worse, and/or give them new diseases! It could permanately disrupt the delcate system of the body. It would disrupt the homeostasis of the person.
