Will I ever recover from this?(drug rehab situation)?
I was on lithium for 2 months because I had a psychotic mental break down at home during my marijuana addiction. (I freaked out at home and was screaming and threw something at a wall, like a temper tantrum). When I was on this I would wake up every morning and cry. I was on risperidal too. I Have also been smoking marijuana regularly since 9th grade. I am now going into my junior year of college, and I am now quitting. But I feel super slow all the time and like I am not in control of my body. It's like I have no coordination or something. I also get "stuck" a lot.(zone out) I also hear conversations in my head all the time, its like mind chatter. I understand that because I have been using for so long this is a difficult time. I'm mostly wondering about the lithium, because I read that causes permanent lethargy....will I ever be functional lol. Please help with any good advise, it would be much appreciated.

Read on hypoglycemia and adrenal fatigue. Sugar crash or not eating snacks makes you produce adrenalin to get sugar out of the liver, and that looks like you are in danger and in panic, you're just hungry. Especially if you eat high refined crap, you get huge crashes. Pot are a way to calm this... the adrenal also make you lose salt when exhausted, and too much potassium so don't eat chips it will shift it more screwed up... I drink salt, celtic grey sea salt... when I get too bad, and only eat veggies sauté with meat and ginger... wonderful. Nuts for snacks and cheese that calms me down...
Antidepressants cause hypoglycemia, so if you smoked pot instead to eat properly, and used a medicine that aggravate hypoglycemia... yes your brain was so depleted of fuel that you had fogs, hallucinations, phobias as it scream for help with any fear box he can throw at you (seeing bugs is common). Lack of a B... I think B12 can cause psychosis because it is essential to carry oxygen...
the salt part I forgot is that salt helps you keep water, less means less blood, meaning the heart need to pump faster to get the same amount of oxygen and fuel...
If you eat right, veggies, vitamin C,B, magnesium and calcium +D... I even helped nerve damage, but it takes sacrifice, dedication... and I don't know how bad drugs can screw someone up... but they cause psychosis... suicide and violence (check wiki on prozac) because they shut your body up instead to listen to it,s needs... It,s criminal really...
I came back from a point that I couldn't walk, could hardly breathe and was severely bleeding from my anus... but don't let anyone abuse you because it can severely damage your glands...
Get off the lithium and go smoke some good kush or kind bud. Recent studies prove that marijuana promotes brain growth. Only alcohol and other drugs kill brain cells. Best of luck.
ha, sounds particularly smug yet I even have the comparable concern. the priority is chicks will fantasize approximately you yet in case you haven't any longer have been given any "sport" you will no longer get laid extremely often. a minimum of i'm particularly particular that is my concern. Plus i've got not got oodles of money that often facilitates. yet ladies circulate gaga over "sport" so %. some up at your close by wal-mart or you will circulate homestead on my own for an prolonged time to return. HaHa i did no longer even attempt that final section, HA
