How Bad of a Cocaine Addict Am I?

I have no idea what shape I'm in physically and would really like some honest insight. Here's my situation:

25-year-old female
about 1 gram of cocaine a day for two months
nasal tip rhinoplasty six months ago
take wellbutrin and klonopin daily
a lot of the time my front tooth is very painful for a few hours after doing a lot of coke until the next morning (not from grinding or lack of hygiene)
half a pack of cigarettes a day (if that has anything to do with this)

I want to know if I should see a doctor or anything to see how I'm doing physically and if I've ruined anything yet, etc. Can't I just continue for a few more months and just stop without having any damage?

Luckytwice - that's a good point that many addicts do live fast die fast. What I was trying to say (although not very well) was that often people say/think they will quit after a few months but they carry on for much longer. Just like a smoker who keeps saying 'this is my last packet.'

Lafemi - keep taking your prescription meds like the rest of us. Hope you get well better soon!

nexus788-   A few more months can easily turn into a few more years----  or not.

Lafemi,
I person I knew thought that as well, and ended up hanging himself,  He would  have been 55 this year, but he only made it to 25 instead. A month before he died he told me it was the greatest stuff since sliced bread, and that I should  try it.  Live fast die fast. That's what it does to you.

You are taking anti depressants. What's that tell you?

Yeah, you should probably go see a doctor. A few more months can easily turn into a few more years. The human body can handle quite a lot of abuse - just look at Keith Richards.
