Sandy1 month isnt that long in the grand scheme of things... withdrawl takes along time.. and if you really want to be drug free you MUST keep going..
I found too that cognitive therapy really makes a difference in how you think about yourself and teaches you how to control your thoughts to a more positive attitude... try checking that out or mention to your doc about this..My acupuncturist says that withdrawl can take months or even up to a year... i dont want to sound so negative but I am willing to wait it out however long it takes.... Withdrawl is the body's way of trying to get u to take the drug again...
All it did was numb me and of course then the docs think you are better from your depression cause you arent showing any tears!!sheesh.. we are suppose to have emotion.. yes and i know not 24/7, but our bodies tell us this so we can help ourselves...
Hang in there..
ive had personal friends who say they didnt feel themselves until they were OFF the a/d drugs for at least a year! it depends on the body..
if you keep yourself busy it will be easier.
I myself have accepted the fact that I may not be the same for about a year and I am not being overwhelmed by this... I just go day by day... and keep hoping... I know that prayer has helped me cope as well along with all the other things I have mentioned here..
Keep going... every hour that passes remember your body is healing ... it knows what to do... so let it do it.. and please please dont isolate yourself... talk to people... here on this site, and anyone who will listen and Hold on to you..take care
