Pill addict

[Niki09]

I was addiccted to pillls, when the drs stopped prescribing pain meds i started overtaking my klonipin. it escalated to the point i got 2 scripts of xanx from a friend and took them like candy, I loved feeling the high. eventually it got real bad I was oding on klonipin and eventually even started taking up to 10 zoloft at a time. Fri. till this morning was just a pill spree, and i was so shaky i had to tell someone. i was treated for severe overdose at the er this am.

its better than the alternative, jails, instituitions and death
speaking of institutions, did you leave the er.....ama?
why did they not take you to detox? did you get your stomach pumped?
keep in touch, if you get to the point where you want to take a handful of pills, send me a message i find some telephone #s for your area

Zoloft??  Why?  Do you get euphoric off antidepressant ?  You should seriously look into some kind of therapy. It could really help.
What did you overdose on?

Good Luck to you.

Niki09, Your post scares me in ways that I can't even put into words. After reading your post, I took a look at your profile page (it's something I do before posting to someone new..just to learn something about them)...and, I see that you're 26 and happily married. I read that in your profile, but for some reason I see a lot of pain in your post. Everyone on this forum has abused medications. When I think of the amount of Tylenol I ingested at times, it makes me wonder how my liver still works. But sometimes a post goes above and beyond what I usually see on here. Your post has just jolted me in some way that I can't explain. Niki, most all of us started on these meds for a legit reason. The problem was that for many of us, the meds also seemed to help underlying issues we had...most notably for me..depression. The volumes of drugs you're taking goes beyond addiction...and borders on suicidal. I really wish that you would reach out to someone tomorrow and get a handle on this before something tragic happens to you. We're all here to listen and to be people you can lean on, but unfortunately our expertise is limited. There are ways to detox from these meds the right way, but you need to be under a doctor's care..especially concerning the amounts of benzos you've been taking. Does your husband know about the pills? Can you get into a detox program? Do you have any support system lined up? What's the next step in your recovery? Let us know how we can help. And, please...seek out some help with all of this.
