Question by jdm boy: Is there any way to return the brain’s functioning back to normal after taking prescriptions and smoking?
So right now im 19 and i was diagnosed with adhd when i was small but i was very very smart and absoloutley in love with life. i was put on medication from the time i was about 7 years old, ritalin, welbutrin, risperdal, tenex, abilify, pristiq, cymbalta and that’s to name a few. i was put on them by the perceptions of others and not based on exactly how i was feeling until i reached high school when i felt like i was depressed. i always felt like my parents were keeping me away from all the other kids when i was smaller due to my hyperactivity so once i reached high school i felt as if i needed to just leave the parental nest and do my own thing and that’s when i started smoking marijuana because i would tell people about how i felt and they said weed would do it for me and i listened although unaware of the potential side effects, and sure enough for a while it did the job of alleviating my stress. i did it about 3 times between freshman & sophomore year, then once junior year hit i changed to another school and i started doing it about a couple times a month and stopped my medications. then once senior year hit i was doing it every day. the daily use lasted for about 10 months and i felt like i was fine. then about 4 months ago when i was at work i felt this overwhelming sensation of emotional distress and felt like i wasn’t even in the right state of mind to drive myself home. ever since then ive felt in a fog like state, which i have researched and seems like some sort of depersonalization. my memory, grammar, train of thought, motivation, enjoyment of life, and sex drive has all taken a deep dive in the past 4 months. i have felt a complete lack of emotion except for sadness and worry. everything that used to be enjoyable just seems like its nothing anymore. i have stopped smoking after i first felt this way but it hasn’t really gone away. im going through a bad depression due to all of these symptoms and im just really worried that i wont be able to get my life back on track like it used to be and im afraid that the prescription medications that i was put on since i was small might also have some sort of permanent effect on the way my brain developed. i only have 1 life to live and i really just want some kind of help to get back to normal. the motivation to get help is there but it seems like the motivation of living everyday life has decreased significantly.

ive read a lot of the q’s & a’s on yahoo answers relating to this topic and im just real worried that this might not ever go away. the main reason why i smoked was to try and mask the emotional pains of my upbringing and my parents divorce.

There are so many publications and web sites addressing the “how to give up smoking” subject that one may ask, what is the need to write something else? There are two reasons why I decided to write this article. Firstly, despite all what has been written, many of us don’t really know what effects smoking has on our health. Secondly, methods used to stop smoking are in many cases expensive and mostly not very effective. Here we will suggest another method which is easy, completely natural, costs nothing and which really helps one to stop smoking. But first, for those who still don’t want to stop smoking, let us give a few scaring facts. I, of course, don’t want to frighten anybody, this is just another attempt to raise more awareness about this subject.

So, dear reader, here is another article which promises to show you a way how to stop smoking. If you are reading this article, most likely you have already tried some methods and they did not help you. Do you know why? The reason is, most of those methods are not natural in the sense that they use some external influence instead of relying on the natural resources of our body. Yoga, on the contrary, first of all helps one to restore the inner balance. Once the balance is restored, one can easily give up smoking without any external help. We are now going to describe how that can be achieved by practicing Sahaja Yoga. But first let us give some not very well known facts about smoking in attempt to raise more awareness about this subject.

Many of us heard this example in college that a drop of nicotine can kill a horse. And many also heard a typical answer that “in that case the horse should not smoke”. That is, this argument does not sound very convincing. What else should we know then about the effect of nicotine? Most of us know that nicotine is very harmful for the lungs, it can cause lung cancer and other kinds of cancer. But nicotine also changes the chemical functions in the brain. That is why it creates addiction like all other drugs. Researches done in the US have shown that teen smokers are more likely to have panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and depression. Nearly half a million Americans die from smoking every year. One of every six deaths in the United States is a result of smoking tobacco, making tobacco more lethal than all other addictive drugs combined.

Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things you will ever do. Luckily, there are many tools to assist you in your goal of quitting smoking. Acupuncture is one of the most helpful tools and is very effective in helping break the addiction cycle.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into certain points on the body. These needles stimulate the flow of qi (chee) energy throughout the body, helping to regulate the body’s natural systems. Many people are afraid of needles but acupuncture needles are extremely thin–usually the thickness of a strand of hair–and the insertion is barely noticed. The needles are inserted very superficially in the skin and retained in the body while the patient rests. Acupuncture works by helping to regulate the body’s natural energy flow, to reduce the cravings of nicotine withdrawal, to calm the mind and ease anxieties, and to strengthen and benefit the lungs and clear phlegm, tar and nicotine residue out of the lungs.
