I have been off hydros for 2 momths now....body is feeling good but I seem to have lost my outgoing personality.  /has anyone else had issues like this?

I'm prone to depression - even without the added detoxing - so I know what it's like. Brandywinne is right - go see your dr. There are non-addictive anti-depressants that could possibly help. I've been on & off anti-depressants several times & they can help. Depression is horrible - and you feel so isolated. Remember - it is just a chemical imbalance in the brain & it can be treated. It is an illness, not a personality flaw. I wish you luck.

Mine is work related. I guess I just coped better when I was on the meds. It does help to know others are feeling this way, although I surely wouldn't wish it on anyone. Right now, at the end of each day, I am just thankful I made it.

I am dealing with the same thing! I was on norco & oxycontin & am a little over 2 months sober now. I've been dealing with major depression, anxiety, & am not outgoing anymore. 99.9% of my stress is school related but I feel like its magnified since being off the pills.

I so understand,  It was like my mind was so busy and I was always happy and now...no clue what to do with myself,

Depression is very common when you come off of any drug if it does not get better it might be a good idea to seek out some help for it. I have dealt with many things like that and its all in good time. Time is on your side and it heals. Good luck

Actually, yes. I am dealing with a lot of things that the meds masked. Some days are still pretty hard for me. Not really craving. I can't explain what it is. But I struggle to act cheerful and happy when on the inside I am a mess. Don't get me wrong, I am glad I stopped. It's just at the same time, I don't feel "right."
