I smoked weed and drank alcohol daily, craving alcohol most days and depending on a cannabis high to feel normal. I take fluoxetine 20mg daily (thanks for reminding me to go take it today!). Do you suffer any similar problems @SLeepisLost ?
I abused mostly opiates/opioids. Oxycodone, morfine, sometimes heroin. I don't crave them anymore. I flushed them through the toilet and never looked back. Porn is a different story. I crave it hard and dream about it. I suffer from porn withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety, depression, insomnia. At 50 days clean, I still experience symptoms. Does fluoxetine work for you?
It takes a few weeks to kick in, but yes it works. I just had a short trial off it see if I would be better off without and decided I’d better stay on haha. I’m sorry to hear that though, man. I too have those dreams and I’m so low on energy this week I haven’t bothered to go into work. Have you tried any mutual aid fellowships like NA?
