turned me in towards myself alot. i ended up thinking more about stuff and being less social, which wasn't helping the general situation.
to be honest, i don't know where i am anymore, or who i am for that matter. I lost who i was when i stopped taking them because parts of my brain just shut off now that i'm off of them.
just look at the way i type or write things, i used to be very concise and very thought-out in my speech and espcially my writing... now it's just shit.
this is the reason why I would have fought my ex tooth and nail not to take any narcotic medication, but as it turns out, alot of people do need it. so if you really need it, i say go with it. but please, watch out, one day you may wake up not knowing yourself anymore.
