Hey duhhhjess. I am a recovering addict. I mostly abused LARGE amounts of opiates, but I would do any drug I could get my hands on, except crack. I did meth and coke and heroin and.........everything, but my main two drugs of choice were Oxycontin and Methadone. I haven't ABUSED an opiate in 5 and a half years. The last day I abused an opiate was October 8,2006. Anyway, I am ADHD, so I do take a stimulant medication for that. I was on Adderall for a long time, but now I am on Dexedrine and have been for years and years. I also take Klonopin and several other medications. I understand you EXACTLY when you say that you just want to stop the pills and that you weren't unhappy until you started the klonopin and zoloft. When I was coming off of 540mg of Methadone cold turkey, I obviously had some depression. Well, the doctor tried me on a few different meds and since my body reacted a specific way to them, she then diagnosed me as being bipolar! SOOOOOOOOOOO, I was treated with very strong anti-psychotics for almost 7 years! And my psychiatric nurse even agreed that I did not suffer from bipolar, but they kept treating me with it. My sister and mom both said that I NEVER even had bipolar symptoms until I started those meds. I was just really vulnerable at that time and listened to the dr. SOrry that this is a little off topic, but I just wanted you to know that I know how you feel. I have been off of the anti-psychotics completely since February 13th and I feel so much better. I am here if you need or want to talk. Or if you just need to vent. Feel free to send me a message any time! Diagnosed Bipolar 2005(FOUND OUT IN 2012 THAT I WAS MISDIAGNOSED),Recovering Addict,ADHD,
Anxiety Disorder, EBV, fibromyalgia, sporadic hemiplegic migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome
I am not a doctor. I give advice about things, but you should never take my advice over that you would get from your doctor. My advice is just what I have learned from my life experiences and is just my opinion.

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
