My gaba/lyrica addiction is so bad

[sonicwhite]

I cannot stress it enough how addictive these two meds are. I was just fine doing my own thing. Then I see a shrink for voices and they put me on risperdal. Than I started having massive panic attacks and Pure O OCD. So they put me on gabapentin. I thought it was useless. Until I started buying xannies off the streets and found that gabapentin made the withdrawals non existent.


Now I'm addicted to it like crack. I cannot explain how much a drug has been pinned in my mind. It must be Satan hitting my weak spot. But, I'm telling you. You do not want to get addicted to this stuff.

This must be so frightening for you, Sonic. Do you have a family member or friend that could help so that you don't overuse these meds? I'm going to move this to The Dark Side if you don't mind. Take care!

I have been trying to cut down as well and have also been obsessing about W/D symptoms after reading about all the problems other people have been having.
