How Many Painkillers Is to Many?
Question by Kalia: How many painkillers is to many?
Sometimes I take painkillers to make the pain of life go away. I know it sounds stupid but it’s true. But how many is to many. It has become almost an addiction and because of my overdosing I suffer from chronic nosebleeds and a whole lot of stomach pain. How can I turn this around.

Find a different way to cope with life. Sleep more. Do something instead of taking medication. Drink some tea and read a book. Also having a friend to talk to (real or one online) is really nice too.

hi kaila,
so you say its become almost an addiciton, sweatheart,, if youve overdosed, it IS an addiction.
addicts abuse drugs, because they are not happy in life, its called self medicating.
sweetie, ive been there, you are not going to get anything turned around until you getoff the drugs.
NOTHING! . ZIP! NADA! no!
YOU NEED TO GO TO TREATMENT, AND IM GOING TO TELLYOU WHY!
i wish you had included how long youve been abusing drugs. and what youve tried to get off them.
taking them what ever you want to call it.
but if your ODing, then your abusing them for sure.
even people that dont OD, have jobs, raise famiies can abuse thier medications.
people that start taking them for a legit injury, can keep taking them becasue they help with emotional pain.
i know this first hand.
even if youve been in teatment before, you need to keep trying, for some of us, it just takes longer for to get it, and for it to stick.
when you are in treatment, you have 30days, of a head start, 30 days where you are safe from the world.
30 days, where you are concentraing on you getting healthy and FREE!
yo are tied down!
your will never ba as tied down as you are from drugs abuse.
wouldnt you like to live a life, where you an go anywhere and anywhere and nothave to think abou thaving enough drugs to get you there and back??
to never have to think about getting drugs again.
wouldn that be a treat?
wouldnt it be nice to have that out of your head??
If you wantt oget off drugs fast, there is of course cold turkey. lots of people do it.
or you can go on short tern suboxone, or you can do methadone.
methadone is as good as it is bad.
if you go to a MMT center, you wont have any WDs (with drawls) .they will get your dose of methadone figured out and you will be on that.
methadone is a great pain killer, that is wht is was created for, not for getting junkies off of heroin.
it ceated druing WW1 or WW2 for the soldiers.
the germans had run out of morphine, and created methadone for LONG term pain relief.
then when the vietnam vets starteddomeing home strung out on heroin and opium, 2 doctors thought to try treating them with methadone, it worked!
,methadoned will take away the urge and need to use. but you can also abuse it.
thats why you have to go to a clinic so that they can make sure your doing ok.
for an addict 1 is to many and 10 is not enough!
can you take only 4 a day, thruout the day? no you cant.
this ois becaseu your an addict.
ifyou can,then do it.
becasue yo are not taking them as prescribed, anything is to many for you.
so what you really want ot know, is what wont kill you right?
3 10 mgs hydrocodone may not kill you in a moment, but over time it will.
it eats up your gut.
you are slowly dying and will keep dying unless you stop. you have to let your body HEAL, YOU MUST LET IT REST!!! you must!!!
YOU NEED TO GET INTO THERAPY, SO THAT YOU CAN LEARN TO FACE YOUR DEMONS, AND BE STRONGER THAN THEM, NOT HIDE FROM THEM ANYMORE BEHIND DRUGS..
this is doable.
i did it. my life is so much easier.
even my worst day living sober, is way better than my best day living high.
every thing is too much for you.
your body is sick, it is tired, you are tired.
please get help, dont quit, dont give up, even if you relaps, just keep trying.
go to AA meetings, NOT NA, you will find much more sobirety in AA then NA, it both addicts and alcoholics, you dont have to be a drinker to go to AA.
your life just has to be unmanagle, and your is…
please please dont give up, please keep trying to get clean, go to an AA meeting and ask someone ( a girl) to sponser you.
you wont feel so alone, there will be people there that know what you are going thru!
