HOw I got myself into this mess. I have been meds for years. I'm 43 years old. I have to tell you it's even hard to write about it. well my brother had surgery a year and half ago so into his loratab but on and off and then this past year had my own major surgery and still was on and off again with the loratab. Had an incicent last november that I went on them again and then boom I can't live with out them seems to be the only thing that gets me out of bed. Today I stopped because for one I'm tired Of trying to get them and 2 I'm feeling paranoid about my marriage . probably because of all the lying I have been doing I feel like a sack of ****! Afraid I'll be found out. So I go to Pdoc this after a good while meds are all messed up felt I didn't need them on loratab. I feel like sh*t and I'm scared. I've had one rough year I'm on the coast where Katrina hit and was in the hospital 3 times for sickness. The holidays were rough to get through. I'm just such a mess. But I will tell my Dr. I am ashamed most of all..I feel lost.
thanks Raynee

I feel for you. I want you to know that all of us here who were/are addicts of one kind or another feel/felt some of the same feelings.
Prescription pills are a hard addiction, because they are allowed at first then get out of hand. I encourage you to do whatever you have to do to break the immediate physical addiction.
This has been a hard year for me too. I'm sober right now, and psych meds have helped me do it. So your doctor may be more helpful than you realize.
Please post and tell us how you are doing. We can offer support when things are hard.james k
