A question has been going around in my head for the past while so I thought I would finally put it out there and see what others think.
I have been in recovery from drugs and alcohol for a year and a half now. I have PTSD which sometimes included depression and anxiety. The addiction included pain medication and other pills.
When I was first in recovery I was on SSRI's for a year to manage depression, which I was completely ok with because they helped tremendously. However, whenever I go to the doctor it seems he wants to take out his perscription pad and I have tell him that thanks but no, that really isn't needed.
My fear is becoming addicted, mainly to pills again. It has taken such alot of work to get myself to where I am so I am careful about what I take. But I am talking about SSRI and anxiety drugs.... I am not against them I just don't know where to draw the line for myself because I am in active recovery. And maybe there is a part that still doesn't feel completely trustworthy of taking the meds the right way.
I really would love to hear what others think on this one. Has anyone else felt like this?
