A very warm welcome to PC. I can associate with you on the ssri's I was given them for five years and I am BP II and borderline and it was an almighty nightmare. I also had an addiction to pills and I binged drank for a while as well to self medicate. I still find it hard to do without the pills, the high feeling, the numbness, the whole process of procuring them was exciting and the preparation to take them was adrenaline pumping. But I am better off now, I am more stable, I have less highs and lows although I still get them, I guess I will have them for the rest of my life, I wonder how much of my mental illness is as a result of my addiction. well. I hope you find lots of support here and friends, we are a good bunch of people and there is always something interesting going on. Hope to chat to you in chat
