Perscription drugs

No no no!!! Stop this now before it starts to get out of hand. I once took a anxiety medication for a few months and I started to form a dependancy on it. I didn't realise it was causing me my health problems until it was a tad too late. Now, I have a dangerous food allergy as a result:( Also, never ever mix medications with alcohol. That's another recipe for disaster!

Really I thought ANTI-DEPPRESANTS were suPPOSED tO MAKE YOU feel like shit

Ugh, i use to be on xanax because i have Agoraphobia..and the doctor said it should make me calm for when i gotta go outside and do other social activities, so i was like "sure" but before i took it i read a whole bunch of stuff online about how people are addicted to it and the horrible withdrawals after being taken off of it, ill state that im 18 also, and i'm thinking "oh well thatll never happen to me i dont have the genetics where i can become dependant on such a substance." Also im on Celexa and Ambien, but the xanax oh my godd! when i took that first pill i felt so comfortable and open and all this happy shit..after a while i took more, and more and more, until a month ago i ODed and attempted suicide.. Drugs like that you can never trust, it makes you do horrible things..i still cant remember what ive done when i was on it.. when i went into the psychiatric hospital they did a drug screening on me and said i had ethonal in my system. how the fuck did that happen? who knows..just think of what you are gonna take before it gets outta hand...

ahh dont die like micheal!

i ment to say 'it has made my life fucking hell'****

my dad has a perscription pill addiction.
im 16years old and it has made my life fuck ing.; being homeless bc of his addiction.i want a dad. but he steals, uses people and took my baby sister and bro on a drug run.
it kills me. bc of his addiction i told him to stay out of my life a few weeks ago.
once you start you cant stop and it controls everything and everyone in your life more than you ever know.
get help or talk to your doctor about this so you can change pills or do something
try exercising or doing something crazy like skydiving

Sounds like the startings of a downward spiral to me, Im already half way down it. It always gradually worsens due to the tolerance issue. If you have been on the SSRIS for years you definetly cant just quit taking those, you wil have withdraws and they are horrendous for most. The sleeping pills do the same, if you abruptly stop those after long term use you will end up not being able to sleep at all. It truly can be total hell on earth. I remember I was told all of this in the begninng and thought it would never happen to me, I wouldn't take them long enough but boy was I wrong. Dependency/tolerance and withdraw is one of the most hardest feats to over come in ones life. Do your research and definetly stay away from opiates and benzodiazipines!

Can really relate, been on anti-depressants for 8 months now, they don't really do much but doctor can't give me stronger ones coz of a history of suicide attempts. I was recently visiting an unwell grandparent, when I was using their toilet I decided to check out what prescription drugs they had in the cupboard. They had loads, I took a few different sorts. When i got home that night i decided to try em out. They where f**kin awesome, I had codiene, co-codamol and phentermine(which are apparently for weight loss). Could sleep for two days afterwards, but i was still buzzin for the whole time. Perscription drugs are alot better than street drugs, coz you know they are gonna be safe and you can find loads of info on the net about them. I think it's normal, if not, safer than buyin off a dodgy guy in the street, its just getting hold of them.

As long as you using them for your condition and not to hide guilt or shame. Addiction is a state of mind like: I am tired or hungry or thirsty. Or my ass is fat. Send your Dr. something nice for Christmas he's a keeper.
