I was certainly self-medicating with the meth - I remember crashing when I was like 13 and since then sleeping my life away. Meth helped me make it through the day like other people. I've since last post been dignosed with and treated with cortisol for Addison's disease, and I don't feel sick anymore. I'm happy, energetic, clearer thinking, normal sleep patterns, I feel better than I've ever felt and that includes with the meth. For God's sake I've been taking truckloads of antidepressants and other psychotropics for 30 years and it was a physical problem. Go figure with these guys; the doctors, who never could see the forest for the trees. Lost 30 years to it, but I'm damn happy someone finally figured it out. Scares me how many other people here may be chasing a cure for the wrong demon.
Pharmaceutical grade stims have a place in treatment, but kids - do stay away from the meth. Bad bad bad stuff.
Hope you all find the relief you seek.
