Avatar f tn You will go through this for some time. Real time. Months and maybe a year or more. The subs are known to cause depression and yes your brain is healing. While you are on any opiates your body stops making seratonin. It's your natural happy drug.

You may experience anxiety and depression and even have some aches and pains that you never had before.

Had a very traumatic childhood too including my Father committing suicide. I see a psychologist weekly for inferiority and low self esteem. Noone (including my primary Doc) believes my scan results.

1533382 tn?1357962152 We have 2 kids together. Until about 6 months ago everything was very terrible. I had such high levels of anxiety and depression that I was not a good person. I took the step and talked to my doctor and she put me on meds to help with it all and it took a little while for it to kick in. Through this he's shown patience and kindness and all I've done is tear him apart.

941766 tn?1257796601 About 12 years ago after I lost my brother I had a panic attack and the doctor tried me on every antidepressant out there. I had adverse effect on all and it made my anxiety sky rocket. The doctor finally prescribed ativan .5 mg during the day and .5 mg klonopin at night. After I realized I wasn't really dieing, I got my life back under control. After 8 years I weaned myself off the ativan but stayed on the Klonopin at night.
