Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problem

I ve been using substances like oxycontin, heroin, cocaine, mdma, alcohol, marijuana, ketamine, and lots of other street drugs since I was 14. I don t remember much of my childhood. The doctors always had me on some kind of drug for adhd/add or whatever it might be called. I ve never had a problem sleeping when I suffered from drug addiction mainly because of the marijuana/opiates I have taken to help me sleep. Just recently (10 months ago) I ve decided to quit it all. I still however, kept the marijuana habit up until about 2 months ago. I ve found in the last 10 months i ve been up and down, these last 2 months especially I cannot sleep anymore at all. Now I m taking dipenhydramine HCL 100mg just to sleep. I stopped for awhile then used alcohol. It is all so bad for me. I was going to go back to marijuana but I am only 22 years old I don t understand why and what could be wrong with me?? I have some pretty bad anxiety as well. What do you suggest I do about this problem?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi dear.
I understand your concern.

Long term use of marijuana and opioid can lead to marked withdrawl.

Anxiety and sleep problem both are due to its dependant.

Only dihydramine can not help.

You have to go for rehab also.

Deaddiction in form of detoxification is must.

Clonazepam can help in marijuana addiction and bupenorphine can help in opioid.

All can be given under supervision in indoor treatment.


You can consult psychiatrist or de addiction centre for further assistance.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
