I was srtung out on Meth and Ice about 6 years ago. It was very hard to get off of. The energy level and alertness was gone and I felt so empty and felt like I was going to use it. I have been to MANY treatment centers for addiction and never listened to them. But now that I am clean, it is all coming back to me and making sense. Some people need to be weaned off drugs to make it as easy as possible to get off of it. Some, like me, just went through cold turkey and suffered. I figured I was the one who had made the mistake in starting and I was the one who was going tom kick it on my own. Some of the withdrawls I went through with different drugs i would not wish on my worst enemy. But this is how I felt I HAD to do it, by myself, on my own. If meds are needed to wean anyone off drugs and the Dr. knows what they are doing, then I feel it is OK. Like I remember hearing in a meeting, some people called AA a crutch. Well, when you are a cripple that aint bad. I feel the same may go for this situation. Do what you feel is best for you and for you get off of any drugs. Just getting clean is the important thing to me. need any help, PM me and I am more than happy to help any way I can.
