You spent 12 years getting high. It will take longer than 6 months to get straightened back out. The hallucinations should go away within a few more months. Your emotions are out of whack cause you are withdrawing from the drugs. Your body is trying to get rid of them & it will affect you for a while longer. It is both medical & psycological. I don't know of any support groups. I'm sure there are some. Maybe the funny farm would help. It helped me. Your brain will get back in order in time.

Hello honey! Reading this makes me sad. I am 28 years old and I am a recovering pill addict. I totally feel you and what you are going through. I know it's so hard! First of all, you've admitted you have a problem. Believe it or not, that's a huge step. It's step one on the 12 steps of recovery. So you're already there! You have to change your "PPT's" [People, Places, Things]. You cannot expect to stay clean if you are always around it. This has never worked. I have been clean for 2 years now and I never thought I could be this happy without a substance in my body. Finally, I have peace and happiness in my life and am no longer running that freakin "rat race" to hell. I used to be full of depression and misery and sucidial thoughts! Please don't stop trying. What saved me was Narcotics Anonymous and God. If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got. So you've got to do something different. Go to the link below to find a meeting in your area. You need to reach out for help. This disease of addiction is like cancer, it will eventually kill you if you don't get help. People die everyday from overdosing. It's like you're playing russian roulette with your life. God wants you to be happy. You can do this!! I have faith in you! People get clean everyday and you can too. Go here...\n\nhttp://www.na.org/\n\nGod bless you my friend and my prayers are with you every step of the way!

don't use for 12 hours, that's all cocaine will stay in ur urine. (a nurse at a hospital told me this)  but please don't use, it ruins ur life and ur family! i am going through awful things in my life with cocaine and crack.  it has torn my family apart. my dad is in jail because of his addiction and my 18 year old sister is addicted and 5 months pregnant! (luckily I've got her into in patient rehab in this last week) snorting and freebasing cocaine is a nasty addiction and gets very out of control, causing the slow death of ur self and ur family! I'm not trying to preach here but just take my words of advise to heart and really think about what ur doing. I'm sorry ur in such a bad place in ur life right now that u felt u had to turn to drugs... it is not the only way to deal with life! and trust me, I'm not someone preaching about things they have no experience in. i have tried just about every drug out there and have had drugs ruin my life.

i was addicted to ice and was a major pot head . the ice only for about a year . but i have never been addicted to anything more.\nin my life.with ice it's like speed. and i was in a bad point in my life . i don't even know why i kept doing it at first it made me sick every time i did it. and i mean very sick i wouldn't even be able to get out of bed.i remember i had a bag of it and it sat in mt drawer for like a month. i was doing coke instead. but i would spend like 80 bucks a day and just wanted more . right after i did it it was like i hadn't even done it.so i started doing a tiny bit of ice again\nand all of a sudden it stopped making me sick. at first it wasn't that bad i could give my last line to a friend and not think twice. \nbut the next think i knew not only would i not share but I'd take my \nfriends if i got the chance. even if i had plenty i would still buy more so i didn't run out . i started getting speed bumps all over my face. and i would sit down at the computer and stay there for 2 days only stopping to do a line. and i would fuck up the computer to the point it wouldn't run . and then sit there 2-3 more days until i fixed it. i did not want to talk to anyone i just wanted to be alone . i wouldn't answer the phone .i just rotted away in a big pile of ice . i was seeing someone at the time . who loved me i knew it and loved them to . i just couldn't pull my head out of my ass long enough to care . then one day i found out i was going to be a dad . i was told i would never have kids . and the day i found out i just stoped. no rehab nothing. i was sick i slept all the time \nfor like 2 weeks straight . i just couldn't stay awake. and i would dream about ice all the time and think about all the time . \ni had to stop being friends with all my friend . everyone\nso i wouldn't be tempted. and slowly i stoped thinking about it every day. and the next thing i knew i had a beautiful baby girl.\ni still smoked pot up until right after she was born. and i realized\ni couldn't be the best dad i could be stoned and after 13 years of smoking pot i stoped that too. and thats that.

I have no clue what everyone else said as I didn't take time to read the same thing people always say that is no where near right. First off its an adiction and no one can say its not the same as a physical addiction. I was physically addicted to weed for 10 long years. I smoked an ounce a week every week for 9 of those years. When I finally had kids I stopped and it was the worst month of my life. I couldn't sleep, or eat and even sex got a whole lot more boring. i had never in my life not even once had sober sex until the day i stopped and it was not nearly as fun. \n\nNow, I quit 3 years ago and I still want to get high, I don't but I still want to and I think about it at least once a week. We are the same as drunks in a lot of ways except the only thing wrongwith reefer is its illegal. anyhow, start by slowwing down. I went down to a hlaf for a few weeks, the a quarter for a few weeks, the an 1/8 for a few weeks and finally I got down to smoking once in the morning to get my day going and once at night to get to sleep. once I got over the hump of not smoking in the morning the day time was much easier, until I stopped the final nightly stone. then life was hell for a whole month. I hurt all over, I puked for a week or so occasionally and I hated the world.\n\n\ntry quitting in small steps and don't take advice from people who have never had this addiction. they're just guessing.\n\n\n**added***\n\nonly amatures smoke it with tobacco, don't listen to them for sure.

What were you smoking? \nMost people (I'm not saying I personally KNOW this fact, ok?) but most people get really mellow and they just have this , how can I describe it...'wow, man' type of vibe. You just 'get it'. \nFor others, it's not even fun, it's a drag, your all paranoid and it's no fun.\nDrugs are different with each person. You just didn't respond to it in a positive way, which was probably a good thing. Saved you a lot of wasted time right! \ngood question!

You stop. Just stop. Stop using. Period.\n\nYou'll probably crash for awhile and when you wake up, don't use anymore. Disassociate from people who helped you use, sold to you, or used with you. If you can, move to another place/town/state, change your cellphone. If you have no ties to that world to lure you back in, its less likely you'll slip.\n\nIf you need additional support, look into Narcotics Anon or a meth users support group in your area.

I have the same problem.  I don't think there is anything that you can do.  Maybe get some vitamins (there are ones that are supposed to help with memory and over all mental health).  Without knowing much more about you that is all that I would say.  I think my problem is from smoking too much weed when I was younger.

Yes I have. I am an ex-crystal meth addict, but I've also done E, LSD, cocaine, mushrooms, pot, and I think some other things too! (like I can remember!)\nIf you need help, trust me, you NEED to go somewhere else besides Yahoo! Answers!! Find a treatment facility in you area. Turn to you family and friends, not complete strangers. Good luck!!

Quick!  Make an appointment to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible.  If you don't have a serious drug problem, then you are not emotionally stable.

This is normal. Antipsychotics (Risperdal) and benzodiazepines (Klonopin) will make you feel that way until they are fully in your system, which could take anywhere from a few days, to two weeks, depending on your body and the way it handles the medications. \n\nAs for the drug abuse, I'm sure you already know this, but you need to stop. The drugs will interfere with the medications you are taking and will hinder your process to get better. I too used to take drugs (a lot more than my fair share) and until I quit, no medications helped with my bipolar. Enough lecturing. \n\nHere's some stuff that you can read up on about the drugs and your conditions if you want to. Good luck.

You could actually be sugar intolerant.  As long as you are ingesting an offensive substance, your body fights to maintain homostasis.  When you've been off of it for a while, you have withdrawal and detoxification symptoms.  You may also have severe cravings.  \n\nMake sure you are drinking plenty of pure water and fresh fruit and vegetables.  They'll help with the detox process.  \n\nAlso it would be good to get a check up.  Have your blood glucose levels checked and your thyroid and adrenal function.  You could be resorting to sugar to give you a boost because something else is amiss.
