any one have negative effects from drinking. Ive been nervous to. but im curious if it might actually help lift me mood and make me feel good for a while.
 
@pmz - drinking was very helpful for me to get out and get my comedown off my mind. The hangovers really sucked tho.

Thanks. Id like to hear from more people though. You seemed to have a different comedown. you say you had more of DR. Im working through DP and this depression and not feeling alive part.
 
I stupidly got wasted (12 beers and a lot of whiskey) 4 weeks in. Needless to say it fucked me up quite bad considering I did it that early in my comedown. I had a beer 2 days ago. One beer, 0,5 liters, and it honestly left me euphoric for about 1 hour. All I wanted to do was to have another one, but I resisted. Obviously I didn't suffer any negative after effects from such a low dose. It did lift my spirits significantly though.

If I were you I would try drinking like 2-3 beers and seeing if it has a positive effect on you, and if it leaves you with any negative side effects. The social aspect of being able to have a few beers when others are drinking is probably gonna be a positive thing too.

I do not have anhedonia though, so I respond well to anything that used to stimulate me towards a positive mood. Not sure if it will be the same for you.
 
Pmz I suffered from DP and depression as well. Drinking alcohol relaxed me at that moment. But the hangovers are to painfull and fucks you up. Don't do drugs at all, eat well and exercise. This really helps.

Have you recovered? If so, could you say something about what your symptoms were, when they subsided etc?
 
has anyone that's recovered gone back to smoking bud???? I haven't smoked because it'll prob just make my comedown more unbearable. I'm curious about everyone else though.
 
Sleeping problems as well. Vision got better and anxiety I guess once in a blue. And I would say sensations in my head depending on rest, food choices, and mood. Idk. I was reading that marijuana is used to sooth nerve pain and headaches. I used to smoke bud everyday but haven't since my bad experience rolling. I just don't want it to set me back. If I were to do it I'm talking about 2 hits or so, not going through a whole blunt. Has smoking helped anyone?
 
I would steer clear of all drugs Badroll until you are recovered. Drinking caffeine, alcohol, or popping a Lorazepam has only set me back in my recovery.
 
1 weed and i was back to the hell for 1 month and im sure it slowed my recovery. take care.
 
Alright. You guys are def right. It's been 5 months without touching weed or alcohol. It's been hard but im gonna keep fighting. I wanna recover. I just have to eat healthier and work out on a more consistent basis and hopefully I'll make a full recovery. Shit drives me crazy sometimes.

Are you saying that you haven't felt better after 5 months?

Also, during this time, have you been consuming tobacco or a nicotine replacement product at all? Doing so may actually cause your symptoms to increase in severity as nicotine apparently increases sensitivity of brain reward systems, such as dopamine, and possibly serotonin as well. Therefore, if an abnormality in your dopamine and/or serotonin systems is what's causing you to feel like shit, consuming a nicotine product may have the effect of "turning up the volume" - so to speak.

I'm sincerely sorry you're feeling like shit after 5 months. A bad roll about 9 years ago caused me untold amounts of severe chronic pain and other debilitating symptoms, and it took me approximately 19 months to consider myself recovered. I had it coming though, as I was extremely reckless for years.

P.S. - I've been able to smoke small amounts of weed without any problems (or a moderate amount if I take a benzo beforehand - but at the same time it sort of dulls the high). Any amount more however and I end up extremely paranoid and with a massive panic attack. And the "burnout" afterwards is really rough. If anxiety and/or panic attacks are not among your symptoms, perhaps you may respond differently (or not).
 
LOL!

No really, have are you doing in your recovery Scared? I remember you made some progress not long ago?
 
I can do a short update since it's my anniversary and all :)

Yeah, I've improved heaps :) Right now I'm not sure what is going on, I've been very dizzy since the weekend. I might have gotten sick (was cold for many hours @ saturday), or the fact that I had two cigarettes might have spiked something. I've never felt this dizzy/out of it during my comedown though so it might be a minor cold or something.

My day to day anxiety is 99% gone :) That was my biggest concern earlier, so when that went I felt very close to recovered, however now that I'm not focusing as much on anxiety, I notice these symptoms mainly:

Cognitive impairment, memory, attention, spontaneity
Sleep. I wake up many times throughout the night
Digestion problems (this started quite recently)
Slight DP, I don't feel like myself and I have the feeling that I'm going to wake up a few months from now going "holy shit what just happened the last 6 months".

But all in all, yes I have improved very much, and I am positive about the coming months :)

Thats really great to hear. But I can't believe how much my recovery is just like yours.

I don't have as much anxiety as before, although it's still pretty nightmarish in the mornings. But definitely better than a month ago.
I'm on lexapro though, and I'm not sure if it's actually the meds doing their job.
However, as my anxiety has become less of an issue, the DP-issues has really manifested itself. It's not like I would look in the mirror and feel totally detached from the person i'm looking at, but I definitely feel like I can't 100% relate to myself. It all feels like a dream (but luckily not as much as a nightmare as earlier on)

I began reacting the same way after my bad roll.
