I know that I said I can't give up coffee..
Coffee is an
addiction
😫 and I was sick and couldn't get up to make Coffee and went through detox with a huge headache. I felt Luke Coffee had poisoned me. Plus I don't feel like I should drink it because I have this hyperfiltration thing happening.

Thinking about JM today. I miss him more than I should.
Addiction
. Abuse. His long time girlfriend died while he held her hand. Really severe mental illnesses. Chronic pain. I came close to sacrificing myself so many times trying to help him.

My Story
Also easily turning to
addiction
during stressful times when I'm unable to regulate my emotions. I just feel I can't quite live the life I want to live. Something just doesn't feel right as if I'm not quite unlocking my potential.

Throw into the mix my young adult daughter with ADHD and an alcohol
addiction
. He started just being different and basically ignoring me most of the time. My daughter and I are high strung and can be loud. We also say if we are mad or upset.

Introduction and looking for feedback
But the one thing that has remained out of my control for the past 20 years is my
addiction
to the internet.

When will we reconcile with the fact that there is no cure now? Possibly never?
Because we are dependent on Carbidopa levodopa which is actually a lot of like an
addiction
. Any cure depends on the ability to wean off carbidopa levodopa, which is pretty much impossible without solid cooperation from the medical community.

Diazepam addiction.
Hi, I have been addicted to diazepam for a few years and have finally tapered down over a few months to 1mg per night. I honestly don't think it is strong enough to matter but if I don't have one just before I go to bed I cannot sleep. Also would taking magnesium oxide and 1mg of diazepam interact

chronic severe RLS
I'm be been on EVERYTHING, even opioids, which can have many side effects like
addiction
. I've been on benzos as well. Even if something did work at first, it won't take long for it to not work anymore or you can have the unwanted side effects.

tortuous world of pain
A functioning person is more likely to eat better, exercise more, smoke/drink less, have better mental health, even if they have an
addiction
. But they don't see it like that...and it is VERY frustrating!!! Why is Subutex only available for drug addicts to access?

ADHD & phone addiction
help! Im so addicted to my phone! I can’t stand it. It’s taking over my life ! whenever I ask for help people tell me to just put it down or leave it in another room. I can’t ! It eats my brain up. I can’t shake it. Or sometimes I can for a while but then once my phone is back it’s just scroll scroll

I'm back here, but got myself back there, and need to get myself back THERE (to be read with gesticulations)
I think when you get to the point where you need to run further because you don’t feel like the distance has sufficiently crippled you physically and/or emotionally, it’s time to admit an unhealthy
addiction
. But, hey, that’s for another day!

Doctor about turn!!
My regular doc had refused to give me gabapentin due to
addiction
issues. So talked to a different GP. I explained i was no longer sleeping well and she offered me sleeping tablets!!! Unable to prescribe gabapentin for insomnia… she said the uk did not follow the Mayo clinic recommendations.

Keep freezing when wife has anxiety attacks.
To my dismay, she refuses to medicate, citing family history of
addiction
and negative experiences with western medicine professionals.

I don't actually know what to do now.
The pramipexole was introduced last year as my GP ideally wanted me to stop taking the cocodamol due to the risk of
addiction
. But I found it really hard to cope with the RLS symptoms without it.

Kratom anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety herb!
That is were the
addiction
lays. I don't have chronic pain problems. So I use about the lowest therapeutic dose. 2 grams 5 times daily. I take green meang da strain. I find it has a balanced effect. low doses have a mild stimulating effects and anxiolytic properties.

Coming off PPIs
I took them for reflux which has always been part of the IBS I've had since my 20s.I now want to stop taking Omeprazol as I feel it' s now a physical
addiction
and ineffective. I spoken to my GP who is supportive and a pharmacist who was very helpful.

Looking for positive support and good advice on similar or past experiences.
I'm struggling with clinical depression and
addiction
I find it hard to believe in myself most days and to recognize my accomplishments. I've lived a fast and nowhere near healthy lifestyle. I'm looking forward too being a better person.

Theory suggests diet leads to Alzheimer's Disease
I am not surprised that scientists have a theory that high levels of fructose lead to a form of food
addiction
and this leads to inflammation, resulting in Alzheimer's.
