What is happening NOW that you think is from years of drug abuse??
I am sure IF there has been years of using….you must have some side effect going on now.
not sure which you are talking about this second…could you list it?

People who are suffering emotionally use drugs—not in order to get high—but to feel normal. Drug use can be a seemingly attractive and easy escape from all kinds of problems. Speed might be used to fight feelings of inferiority, sleeping pills to deal with panic attacks, or painkillers to numb depression. However while drug use might make a person feel better in the short-term, this attempt to self-medicate ultimately backfires. Instead of treating the underlying problem, drug use simply masks the symptoms. Take the drug away and the problem is still there, whether it be low self-esteem, stress, or an unhappy family life. Furthermore, prolonged drug use eventually brings its own host of problems, including major disruptions to normal, daily functioning. Unfortunately, the psychological, physical, and social consequences of drug abuse and dependence are often worse than the original problem the user was trying to cope with or avoid.
