I need answers? ?

[Anonymous]

I don't really understand what is happening so I don't know what to do to fix it so thought maybe I could get some answers on here? I can't breath well without my chest hurting. My stomach hurts to the extreme, most of you probably won't know the feeling of an overdose but that is the best way to express it. I'm always short of breath and I have brutal pain in my stomach. My bones get weaker by the day and I always have bc old sweats and chill and sometimes get heated up out of no where. I try to eat but the thought of food makes me nauseous, but when i do I feel sick after at least 2 bites. I can barely even hold down a glass of water. I get head aches a lot and my depression is horribly intense, same with my anxiety. I will say that my last overdose was not too long ago, and none of my other ones bothered me except for a day or two. It's been bother 2 weeks sense i have been feeling this and it is killing me. I have been abusing pills of and on for a couple of months like hydrocodone and xanax and a mixture of alcohol but I didn't do it constantly where I was seriously addicted. What I have done a lot lately is buspirones. I couldn't find any bars so I take a couple of buspirones within the day each day. 3 pills only gave me the feeling of xanax but only lasted 1 or 2 hours so I tookmore when it wore off. I did this for about a week and I stopped completely for like 5 days counting now. My anxiety is worse now, I have a lot of personal things that I don't want to rant about and a part of me is thinking the personal problems are the reason why I'm in physical and emotional pain but then again it could be the pills or both. What do you think? What should I do??

You need to go to the doctor. And, I know you won't want to, but you need to tell them exactly what you just told us. All of it.

Medications can build up in your system over time and cause problems. That's why with midol (first thing that I thought of) you can take 2 with the first dose then can only take 1 after. It's because at the beginning you don't have any of it in your system, then there is a build up and cause damage if the levels get too high.

The doctor may also try to put you on a medication that will react with the ones you are taking already if you don't tell them. Worst case scenario, you can die. A friend of mine did that ( he was finally getting over his drug addiction too)

Please tell them about your mental issues such as depression, anxiety, and food issues too. Those are real problems that need medical help just like a broken bone does. And if you get an idiot doctor that thinks it's fine. Keep telling medical professionals until one helps you.

Let me repeat. Mental issues are just as real and serious as broken bones.

The thing is I have been diagnosed with anxiety and severe depression, adhd and ptsd. I've been on multiple medications at a young age such as clonodine , Adderall , Lexapro , concerta , Ritalin , focalin XR etc. And I am just now off all medications like that. I've been in and out of mental facilities sense the beginning of 2014 and at the end of of the year put on probation. I don't want to take a chance of having anymore thing pop up on what I need help on medically If I don't seriously need it. And then made to stay on probation any longer. Probation and hospitals suck and so does being on all kinds of medications trying to fix you when all you want is a high sucks to. I know I am going anyways but I'm not too sure about telling them my drug use because I only have one more court day which is 04/21/15 and I will possibly be off depends on how I am right now. Thanks for the comment. I'll think about it hard, many things can come out of a choice. :/

A friend did tell me it is just withdrawal from everything because my body misses what the pills did to my body and it should only last for about 2 months but I am unsure.

[rachelbrrtt]

You didn't mention your food problems. Do your doctors know about those?

I understand you think it's withdrawal. But that can be just as dangerous as an overdose. Your body can literally shut down if you've become so use to it. You literally need it to function. My dad's a lawyer and has seen many people who have gone into alcohol withdrawal and needed hospitalization for it because their bodies were shutting down without the alcohol.

In my own family, my grandpa went through a hard time when my grandma died. So he started self medicating with alcohol and over dosing on his PTSD medication. He realized he was going down a bad road and stopped cold. He ended up in the hospital for weeks recovering because he quit all at once.

Withdrawal can be deadly just like overdosing

I really hope you don't need to have more probation time but in my opinion it would be better to get the help you need and some more time than stay the same time and get worse. Maybe get caught again and have an even longer probation time

It is most definitely all the medication. The same thing happened to me. I ended up causing lung failure in myself and all kinds of issues with my digestive track and joints and it only made the depression worse in the long run. Go to the hospital and explain all the medications that you've had in the last two to four weeks. Its most likely some sort of kidney failure from what I can tell because of the pain in the stomach that you're describing (yes I know what a overdose is like) and if it was a overdose you probably would have knocked out or became extremely delusional so you aren't overdosing yet. But do go to the hospital its better than a doctor cause there's less wait and the doctor is probably gonna submit you into the hospital anyway because it doesn't sound like you getting nutrients or hydration.

IF this problem is new it could be the stomach flu or a stomach virus. If this problem is longer than 4 days you might have a problem with one of your organs. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

The problem has been going on for at least 2 weeks going on 3. I'm going to the doctor soon, I just need to get an appointment. Thanks for the comment.
