Hey, guys! A new forum user here. It's such a relief to know that there are people out there who experience the same problems stemming from the chronic inhalant abuse. I feel for anyone who struggles with it.
Luckily, I don't use inhalants anymore. I stopped huffing gasoline after I had almost overdosed and died at the age of 16. My unhealthy habit developed very quickly and after a month or so I became an avid inhalants abuser.
I had no idea at the time that this toxic pastime could severely distort my personality and impair the brain functioning.
A year of huffing gasoline and glue had rendered me weak, fearful, anxious, and very depressed. My condition is getting worse every day and I don't know what I can do about it.
I'm having difficulties keeping a job and maintaining romantic relationships. My sex-drive is almost nonexistent. I can't connect to other people and feel no joy in life.
I'm 25 now and have been living at my mom's/grandparent's for the most of my life.
What meds have you used to minimize the negative effects caused by huffing gasoline/glue/toluene, etc.?

I'm on antidepressants but it was more for anxiety/depression than anything
