Hello doctor, I was a cocaine addict for almost a year, I have been sober for 2 months now, I am suffering from lack of motivation, tiredness and fatigue, I also have a hard time being around people because of suspiciousness and high anxiety. There are some thoughts of paranoia about the world also. I feel my mind is constantly talking and worrying and this is when I have bad headaches and tiredness. I have seen a psychiatrist and he prescribed me many medications but has not worked, I also received psychotherapy, I am exercising 1-2 hours a day in group exercise classes which helps, all of my symptoms I noticed are slightly getting better as days go by since I have been sober. Any advice can you give me will be appreciated
! What you have currently is very usual presentation after quitting cocaine. I prefer to prescribe Venlafaxine 37.5 to 150 mg to such patients(at night). With that you may need an antipsychotic like- olanzapine for some weeks (to help in paranoia). I'm sure that this will help you out. The constant use of Chat Doctor.  It takes time and a lot of hard work to come out if it. You are very right in doing workouts daily, it is very, very helpful. Also, take more of nuts, salads and veggies in your diet, take lots of water in form of sips every few minutes. This will HY
