The antidepressants are so key to quitting. Most of us were just self-medicating with our addictions. Take away the depression and it is a lot easier to give your addiction up

125% i used to have to be stoned as a mountain goat all damn day just to feel normal, and now I have a normal baseline and only dry vape a little weed on the weekend as opposed to doing dabs all day. Its nice to use weed recreationally again and not use it just to feel ok.

Got a friend off Meth with antidepressants and adderall prescription recommendations. Turns out they had ADHD and self medicated to get their executive dysfunction to function again. They had been using for like a year so I think bamboozling their brain to the safer option was the key.

Also fun fact, lead was banned from gasoline in commercial cars in 1996. Lead also has developmental defects on growing embryos, of which ADHD is common. Like a 60% chance with toxic exposure, the rest of the % is Autism and Cerebellar Hypodysplasia (undersized cerebellum).
