^^^ This. Nammu said it perfectly.
I believe that any time someone is using they are doing so because they are not properly medicated, also haven't worked out whatever their issues are - the pain is still there, like an infection.
You're using only downers...what is the benefit you're getting from the slow-down (besides the high)? Do you need to be calmer (less anxious)? Doesn't paranoia come from an extreme, elevated anxiety? Seems I've heard that somewhere.
I don't know about the time frame of self-medicating with substances vs. being on steady, prescribed meds - I do know that if you're on meds and using at the same time there is absolutely no way to tell what the meds are doing.
It sounds like your therapist is being straight with you.
Can you make an appt. with your NP?
