hey stephanie,
hi hun, yes you do have an addiction you are self-medicating. have you had that psychiatrist appt yet? you came to these forums over one and a half months ago. has anything changed in that time? are you still using as much paracetamol and codeine?
have you tried any support groups they are always free, na/aa,church based groups,
here is a link:

hey stephanie,
you should definitely go to the psychiatrist. you have dealt with your own problems and now you need some professional help. the meds you are taking are dangerous and toxic for your organs as sudie pointed out. the doctor  will most likely  give you a anti-depressant. .you should also check into seeing a therapist and discuss your home life and the situation with your husband. you are very lonely, that is never good for anyone. do you work? have any hobbys? attend church? you should get involved with some type of functions so you can interact with others.
please keep talking to us.
praying for you
debbie

hi stephanie, you really need to be looking after yourself, it must be really hard , living like you are , you say you cant disappoint your family, but what about how you feel and your happiness they are important too.
you really are damaging your liver, kidneys and stomache with these pills, please see your gp, he/ she will help you. please see the psychiatrist , you really need help, and you have a lot to gain, god bless.
