Am I convincing myself that I stipulation these pills day after day?
I feel sick, if i dont take a couple of vicodin a day, I surface as if theres no harm in self inducing a snooze because I cant sleep, and I need to function through out the hours of daylight so i take an ambien and 3 valium plus the vicodin because i feel horrible if I dont have at lowest 2. and I think ive convinced myself that im an insomniac so i try and take 3 naps a afternoon, which means I have too take more pills. and i surmise my kids are noticing a difference, because my ex tells me that they think Im acting wierd and they assume something's wrong with me. I guess ive been a little depressed since my bestfriend died, but thats merely another excuse.
Answers:
If you are taking Vicodin and you don't touch actual physical pain then you are what they refer to as a drug user who is using legal drugs instead of unofficial ones. Vicodin is a strong narcotic and when used long term can actually cause you to develop depression, sleeping problems, and heaps other symptoms similar to those you are facing. It sounds like you need a pick me upper not a downer, both Ambien and Valium serve as downers and you should not need both. I recommend that you shift off everything but the Ambien, and see if you can get a good night's sleep. If you can't, consequently try Nature Made Sleep, it's over the counter, and non habit forming, safe to take beside other medications and will help you get a appropriate night's sleep.
In the meantime, you should see the help of a psychiatrist, as it will help you to feel smaller quantity down all the time with a diet, exercise, and medication schedule to be precise right for you.
Yes, you are just convincing yourself that you need them. Otherwise you would not be asking this cross-question, right?
If you continue to do so, you will develop a physical dependence to these painkillers. You will get sick without them and might enjoy to go to rehab. Painkillers are very addictive, be careful.
You are forcing addiction on yourself. Lot's of people have sleep problems but, we cannot run to the medicine cabinet every time we guess we need something. Your body become tolerant to certain drugs and we need mare and more to stop spot on pains, before you know it, your hooked. If you don't really need these drugs, either bargain with your doctor into giving you something to get off them or try yourself. Your not doing yourself any well brought-up right now.
