been prescribed stims all throughout law school and diagnosed ADHD with anxiety, yet my family has resented me for my stim use and claims I was just high all the time, but law school was brutal for me to get through. Anyway, I wanted to quit Lexapro because I felt trapped in my lethargic mind and was way too irritable. I filled Addy XR 25 with klonopin to wean off the Lexapro and the first day has been amazing. My gf called and fought with me over not going to take her dog to the vet, and instead of just taking it, I fought back and I'm guessing Lexapro had me way too sedated.

So Im prescribed Klonopin to help with SSRI withdrawals and now I'm reading some posts that I can be putting myself at risk for another addiction and withdrawal with klonopin. Every time I've tried to cold turkey both addy xr 25 and lexapro 10 mg meds I couldn't leave my bed and was extremely angry. I got a girlfriend telling me I don't care about her anymore, a brother judging me for using my Addy XR Klonopin and weaning off Lex, and all I'm trying to do is do well on my interview Monday. The both of them are telling me job isn't gunna make you happy if you're still messed up etc, but I'd like to think my circumstance will get better and I can move out and get away from house that causes my depression here. Either I'm trapped with a crappy manipulative gf and toxic jealous family, or I've lost it and i'm insane. My bar exam result come out soon, so hopefully I passed and I can have something to give me reason to get better again, yet don't feel bad about my routine right now. Just venting here
 
Vent away :) I agree with you getting away from toxic people and situation. Last thing you need right now is people telling you how you feel , what to do etc..,
I'm not familiar with the drugs. I use kpins for anexity and after years I only abused them when I abused opiates and now I'm off opiates I'm back to my regular dose (down 1mg). I'm addicted to them but sometimes we do actually need something and if taken as prescribed can be useful. In years I haven't went up in dose. It's been a great medication for myself and my PTSD.
I'm sure you'll get proper answers here and great job on law school!
Don't be hard on yourself. It seems you have people dojbg that already If they are not helping you. Get away. Be selfish. Take care of you. I had to leave a lot of good friends because I was getting dragged down by bad memories and constant negative talk. I was expected to be the "strong" on so everyone took my strength til I barely had any for myself. It put me in a mind frame that my pain was not that important and that lead me to almost loosing myself to drugs
You have done a lot with your life so far. Please don't let toxic people take any more of you :)
I wish you the best and hope you find answers and peace soon :)
