Hi Evangelista!
It sounds like you are having a very hard time dealing with this, and I sure can't blame you! I mean, you finally open up to someone and now she wants your meds? I can understand your not wanting to offend her and to stay her friend, but this is a HUGE boundary issue.

If it were me, I would take into consideration that I NEED these meds, they were prescribed for ME, and I would tell her this. You can do so in a caring way, and if she gets defensive or offended, that is her issue to deal with. I don't mean to sound harsh, but she is taking advantage of the fact that she is friends with you and can get meds from you without a prescription. It sounds to me like she has a very big problem. I would bring it up and tell her that if she feels she needs these meds she can see a doctor and get a prescription for herself. Maybe even suggest the doc that you now see. I bring this up because I have a presscription for valium and it's the only thing that helps me when I have bad dizzy spells. I have had people who know I take it ask me for some like they were candy or something, and offer to buy them as well. The first time I did this I felt I was just helping someone, but then it became a more than once thing. That is when I put my foot down and told the person that I need them and can't afford to give (or sell) them. Sometimes you just have to make a stand, and if that person is truly your friend she will understand.

Best Wishes,
Sujin
