I need some input... I am experiencing the worst depression of my life. To give you some background, I have had bouts with depression for the past 6 yrs (after the birth of my daughter). I have used cocaine recreationally with my soon to be ex-husband for 8 yrs (I'd say a gram once a week on a Fri or Sat just for fun). I never considered myself addicted and if I didn't have the money that week I would be fine without it. When I did coke I would binge drink sometime to the point of blacking out. Ome the weekends when I didn't do coke, I still found myself still drinking heavily that day just to have fun. In June I decided to ask my husband for a divorce since I was not happy with our volitile lifestyle, he moved out and I've since met a great guy that doesn't drink or do any drugs at all! I had a lot of stress and depression when we first seperated so I started taking Celexa, hoping that in 4-6 weeks I'd be feeling great. The last time I touched coke was in July and I barely drink now, maybe have a glass of wine once a week. I thought I would be feeling like a million bucks with all these healthy lifestyle changes, but instead I am now experiencing the most cripling depression ever... It's been almost 12 weeks, could it be the alcohol and coke withdrawel or am I just depressed???
