I'm not the best person to give advice on this as I'm so intensely stimulated by such drugs I keep coming back for more at the same time what we know and hear and feel some days these help free that hurt feeling when nothing is really hurting at the same time try moving the time you take them to later  in the afternoon and you will be able to stay balanced rather than another planet

Hi, I'm new too..lol. I just posted my 1st time a few hours ago. But, Welcome!  Yes, I do have chronic pain from brain tumors & take hydrocodone which I have a problem with & am trying to get off. I deal with a panic disorder also. I wish I had advise for you, I really don't. I just wanted you to know you are not alone & that there are people out there reading your post that care. That is really helping me with the depression part. To read the replies from complete strangers giving support & sharing their stories. I turned to pot. My doc does not approve, but he does agree it seems to control my headache symptoms & panic issues better than any pill we have tried & I don't have the horrible withdrawal symptoms like I do from the pills. I hope you find something that works for you. Please keep us posted! Glad your here!
