OK- - Pass no judgements * *
Ive been a heroin addict for 25 yrs - Even though I haven't used heroin for about 15 of those yrs I still must consider myself a heroin addict. Ive been on methadone maintenance for the last 15 yrs , which has probably saved my life & definitely saved me a long prison term.
I really don't know how long I have been living with HepC - I would guess for some time now. Sometime during all this use, Xanax came into the picture. Now I was OK just drinking my methadone everyday(100 mgs)- but for the last 6 or 7 yrs I have been taking 4 mgs (2 sticks) a day just to relax. 1 in the AM before work (yes, I have a good career and education) & 1 at night when I get home.
I guess my question is how much damage am I doing to my liver with these pills. I dont drink alcohol, I exercise ,eat well, and am at a good weight. I do feel fatigued more and more often , but Im contributing that to age - Im 52 and feeling every year of it.
What should be my main concern?
thanks
