Reverse Paranoia

how long can feelings of depression/paranoia/anxiety last after meth and ecstasy use?

Well, I was a heavy meth and ecstasy user. I’ve been clean for approximately 3 months. I was on both drugs for, at most, a year. Since I’ve quit, lately, I’ve been having symptoms of:
DEPRESSION – worthlessness, irritable, not happy, lost of appetite, insomnia, tempermental
ANXIETY – extreme fear of little things (thinking too hard) and end up having panic attacks,
PARANOIA – having this unusual fear of people around me talking bad of me.
The intensity of these symptoms I’ve mentioned was, I’d have to say, at it’s peak about a month ago. I really thought I was going crazy. But I got my job back and I’m going back to school and getting my life straightened out. Things are getting better, but I feel like I have to talk to others who can relate or seek advice from people who give good advice. The symptoms I have affect my every day life and I just want to know if these feeling will ever go away and how long they will affect me. Anyone??? Talk to me…….. What’s your input.

It depends. You could have caused long term brain damage or you could have been lucky and just messed up your head temporarily and things will start to get back to normal after a few months.

What you are going through right now is called PAWS Post Acute Withdrawal Sydrome. Basically it is a fancy word for going through withdrawals. The thing is most people don’t know that you can go through PAWS for a long time. Slowly the symptoms you have will begin to fade and slowly you will start to feel better. You just have to give yourself a break and some time. You should be really proud of yourself. I have been completely sober for almost seven years. My drug of choice was alcohol. I am also a Therapist who specializes in Addiction. Anytime you want to talk you can email me.

Be proud of what you are doing and know that these symptoms will more than likely fade over time. I go to AA and I suggest that or NA. I stick with women’s meetings because it gives me a chance to connect with other women who are sober and to talk about things only they can understand.
