Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Drug abuse is associated with several short term as well as long term adverse effects including psychiatric problems. I appeciate you for having made the decision to quit drugs and manage to stay clean for the last 4 months.
It is likely that recent symptoms which you are experiencing are due to your previous drug abuse, since many drugs are known to trigger or induce psychiatric disorders. Since you seem to be quite distressed by these symptoms, I would advise you to seek professional help. There are effective treatment options in the form of medication and psychological therapies which can help you overcome these problems. So, please consult a psychiatrist in your area, for a detailed assessment and treatment.
Wish you all the best.
