I love it when she cracks her whip.
Ok boys and girls...........enough mud has been slung. TIME TO STOP! I don't want to have to push the magic "delete" button, but things are getting a tad nasty. If any of you wish to continue the arguement about whether someone who may POSSIBLY have developed anxiety from illicit drug use deserves our support or not, then duke it out in a PM. I don't think we need to waste any more "public" time on your "private," off subject, opinions.
I am NOT going to get into who is right or wrong here, I am NOT going to take sides, but THE bottom line is that someone came to us for help with anxiety and THAT is the only thing we should be offering.
Georgie..............I believe that many people HAVE developed anxiety from a bad drug experience, legal or NOT. Did you have anxiety problems before you tried the ecstacy? There are so many reasons a person can have anxiety, I don't have room to write them all..........a bad experience from childhood, a car accident, loss of a loved one, near drowning, bad parents, bullies at school, an illness............if you can think of it, it's likely that someone, somewhere has developed anxiety because of it. Spend some time reading the posts here and you will see what I'm talking about.
My advice for you would be to see your doctor, tell him what has happened and let him give you professioanl advice on how to deal with the resultant anxiety you are feeling. It may be beneficial for you to get into some therapy as well.
You have come to the right forum to help with your anxiety, but it COULD benefit you to check in with the good folks over on the Drug Abuse Forum.......they could tell you if they experienced the same anxiety and that could possibly relieve your mind, knowing that you're not alone.
I wish you good luck and write us any time you need to talk.
Peace

Thanks for remembering me in your post Georgie. Blessed so I am.
i just want to say thanks to everyone thats showing me support and understand what im going through...... if anything im asking for support from anyone that can relate to me or anyone who wants to help me out.... not for people to come here and judge me so if anything f**k mr.green
Sorry - but I agree with you =) I honestly believe that taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds made me MORE anxious. Like a lot of people, I've tried weed and coke (once) and I admit it. However, it was the "legal" drugs that got me hooked. How ironic that an anti-anxiety drug has made me more anxious than I was before. Yes, I am getting help with it.
To tsands - I'm really sorry to hear about your problem. We live in the ghetto where drugs are really easy to get and help for addiction is extremely difficult to find. I've had a similar experience with one of my kids. Hope you have better success than I did.
