i'm not ready to give up drugs nor do i think i ever will be mostly because of the psychical pain i'm in and the every day multiple times a day panic attacks i have the deep depression i feel most days the ADD that isn't as bad as others i've seen but makes it hard to accomplish much and the insomnia that plagues me most nights so i need to be medicated but i have a plan to help me stop abusing my drugs so badly now i consider taking my drugs more than prescribed to be a form of abuse but i have developed quite a tolerance to my meds over the past ten years so this is the best i could come up with

my plan is to take my pain meds one day then the next take my ADD meds then my anti-anxiety meds which are the only addicting drugs i take i feel like this plan could work because the effects of these three drugs overlap in the problems they help

i was wondering if anyone has ever tried anything similar and if you have been successful in doing so and is it a good idea to even try this or should i just resign to the fact that i have to stop taking these helpful drugs and fight through my problems and hope that the misery doesn't last forever
 
Ideally, we would be free of the grasp addiction has on us.

Start with the idea you have- see how you feel after going so many days without x substance, and then use that to gauge a recovery/taper plan.

Keep us updated. <3
 
I would take them AS PRESCRIBED.
no experiments.
that's me though,I dont know whats best for you.
 
^I agree as prescribed..

Or if you feel like the dosing is messing with you physically or mentally I would talk to my doctor about adjusting.
 
Hey, hang in there buddy...have you tried talking to your doctor about how you feel? Do you have any hobbies?

I know despair...what helps me is creating...painting, cooking for others....you know, doing things that put a little joy in my heart.
 
Don't make adjustments on your own.. Could end up very very badly.. That's how people end up in the hospital or worse.

Speak with your doctor.. Be honest with him/her. They won't be able to help you unless your 100% honest about whats been going on, so as long as you aren't drug seeking to get more fucked up from this doctor than you shouldn't have any problem getting the adjustments you need.

Good luck, stay strong, and stay safe. <3%)
 
i keep fucking up idk what else to do other than wait untill i have my pain/add/anxiety drugs all at once and just rotate days of use so i don't have to continue to go through withdrawals all the time
