I'm serioulsy considering getting some help at this point!. I am truly scared because everyday, im adding two pills more!.!.!.

Yes! well not overnight but over a few days it has!. I am addicted to strong pain killers and sleeping tablets and i find myslef needing more and more to get any effect!.
The thing with taking the amount you are taking is, it is dangerous!. You are doing long term damage to your liver and its an overdose!. If you saw your friend take 20 painkillers you would call an ambulance right!?
I only take 2 painkillers a day but I HAVE to have them i feel the need to have them!. over the past 4 years though its caused me to get stomach problems which i now have to take medication to protect my stomach lining!. But its a bit different with the sleeping tablets as i cant help myself and i end up taking extra so i can get that "feeling" but i get upset and worried now as i cant take anymore than I am taking because they are prescribed and the doctor is monitoring them now!. I do know how you feel, i rely on my pills now i count the hours for when i can take one and gradually knowing that if i take more than i should i wont get any at all it has helped me keep to 1 and a half now (should only be taking 1)
It is really hard, i come from a family of addicts so i know what its like to crave and need drugs but the first step is to gradually reduce what you are taking!. so tomorrow take half a tablet less than what you are now for 2 weeks thenreduce by another half, and so on!. I would advise you to talk to someone though!. You can do it trust me i am pleased with myself and after 3 weeks which is really hard you start to not crave them and think about them so much!. Even if you cut down to 2 a day and never quit its far less harmful than taking what you are now for a short period of time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it happens overnight for some!. As you keep increasing and increasing to maintain that original high you get dangerously closer to dying!. One day the higher dose will feel just fine, the next day, poof, gone in your sleep!. Time for help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Certainly!. Everyone is different!. Do yourself a favor and get some help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't take this the wrong way!. Pills are mindless!. It is a relationship where only one brain, yours!. Trouble is almost anyone taking pills is depending on this mindless little fella to straiten out our life!. Worse the pill and the very reason we take them messes up our mind!.
Why do I say the obvious!. First its not obvious!. It is easy to just trust that everything will be ok because we want it to be!. Then we are blind to what is really happening!.
Second is you show me a man who does not need help and I will guarantee he is not alive!. Everyone living needs help!. We just don't want to ask for it!. We where made as a community!. We absolutely need that!. Society impresses isolation on us!. So we ignore that our right arm has been cut off and take a pill!.
Get connected!. Yes reconnect the amputated part of your purpose by interacting with people!. Are they friends, or acquaintances!? Most of what we call friends are simple people we know!. We don't share life's blood with them because we are really cut off!. Help and be helped!. Support, up build, encourage one another!. In this we find wholeness!.
I am in no way saying stop taking meds!. I am saying add to it support!. There is no other way to be balanced!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
