Question by NaeePleasee: How can I overcome my prescription drug addiction?
Hi, i’ve been addicted to drugs for about 2 years now. Thats because i’ve been deeply depressed. I’m really desperate for help because I have a issue with suicide and cutting once in a while too. Thanks

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.
