New to adiction

I just left the ER due to an intentional overdose. It's Mon. and since Friday thru this morning i took over 150 pills thru the weekend. I was on long term narcotic treatment,  and enjoyed the high. When Dr.'s stopped prescribing I would find another way to get that same feeling. It started with me just taking a few extra Klonipin, and than I started drinking cough syrup, eventually I even asked friends for drugs. The worst was this weekend it's so foggy and unclear, and I am still shaking. If anyone has any advice it would be helpful.

Yes, get in and talk to a professional. Going on a sui mission like that is more than just addiction. Do you want to stop taking the pills?
