Wow! Well, thank God you are still here living. Yes I'm as well a recovering addict, I never IV used, but I smoked meth, a little heroin here and there, and took a lot of pain pills. But I've been clean and sober for 3 1/2 years and always have anxiety severely bad

Firstly, I want to congratulate you for being clean. I have a cousin who is clean from heroin and I had abused adderal and Xanax. I am now treating my anxiety with Zoloft and it has made a big difference. Hopefully you find something that will make you anxiety and depression a little easier to deal with.
