Depends if you are buying them illegally or prescribed the medication and what the drug is. You have to tell your doctor and get some help. I’ve done the same thing and it’s a tough one and drugs do your brain in. You most likely have to taper off and again your doctor has to know. Withdrawal is dangerous depending on what drug you use.
Narcotics Anonymous is a great resource.
Hope you can get some help – you can’t do it alone.

What Percentage of Americans Are Drug Addicts? What Percentage Use Drugs Regularly or Casually?

Question by Newcomer: What percentage of Americans are drug addicts? What percentage use drugs regularly or casually?
Is your answer just a guess or based on actual statistics. Why do you think so many people have the need to “get high”? I feel drug use only adds to the underlying problems that drive one to drug use in the first place. (I’m relating to so-called hard drugs, alcohol, and prescription drug abuse – have I left anything out?)
