Months After I Stopped Abusing Painkillers I Still Feel Really Mentally Different.?
Question by T Georrson: Months after i stopped abusing painkillers i still feel really mentally different.?
I began abusing drugs about a year and a half ago. I eventually became depedent on vicodin and other opiates. In the time period i was abusing them once or multiple times a day and thats when i started feeling different. I felt kind of numb to everything and i felt uncapable of having emotions. Things looked weird when i looked around, and i was really light sensitive. In a weird way, it kind of felt like i was always high. Not like an opiate.. But everything seemed different in a hard way to explain. Thankfully i found a way out and have been mostly clean for about 4 months now but i still feel a little bit like i did. ALOT less, but still present. Its possible that its all in my head, like i just feel like things are different because im worried about it. Is this symptomatic of anything or is this common with painkiller abuse? I just really dont know whats happening and would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

I’m not a doctor, but from reading your story, I think that it would be obvious that if you abused it then suddenly quit, it would take awhile for the side effects to wear off right?? I’m really not sure, talk to a doctor.
