Any suggestions on curbing this ? My team and I are fresh out of ideas and I can't s em to kick the habit it's getting to be a evening routine and to the point where I'm depending on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Never heard of a med called OD. And if you were over dosing on a med that means hospital, stomach pumped, all that

Are you taking something for anxiety but taking too much of it at night? Is that what you mean?

Anyone explained to you the suffering you will experience if you mess up your liver?
My liver almost failed and that was one of the most painful experiences of my life. Irritating too. Not fun being woken up in the middle of the night so they can take blood, or walking around with a drip in your arm for a week. Now imagine if your liver actually gave in? Why do you take them? Are you attempting to hurt yourself? You want the buzz? Is there also a reason you aren't in emergency care or something? You seem pretty high risk for at least an accidental suicide. |

Oh by the way I have a Assertive Community Team of professionals I work with on a daily basis ,I'm addicted to the false sense of calming it gives me the meds when I od as well as the numbness I get as well as the high sometimes . I feel I deserve what I get as a result of the od and have the attitude of what happens will happen although I know that is not an excuse nor does it justify what I am doing , my team is concerned and is aware of what I am doing an has taken steps to take some of the meds away from me and I suppose they are trying to give me the be benefit of the doubt as well as take a chance that I would value the trusting relationship versus the od on meds. I certainly am sorry to hear about the person who posted about their bad experience I truly appreciate hearing it though it did kinda put me off of od urges. Sent from my iPhone

I understand a little better. I wouldn't call it addiction in the traditional sense. An addict would never take 40 vitamins because he knows it will not get him high. I think it is more of a self harm thing. I have really only seen something similar one other time. In this thread.
http://forums.psychcentral.com/addic...ependancy.html Why do you feel you need to harm and punish yourself?

Did you experience trauma in childhood? If so that could be the cause of your need to punish yourself. Psychotherapy would probably help a lot more than ACT taking your medications away and threatening hospitalization. Have they referred you to a DBT program?

Personally I went to a drug and alcohol treatment center and joined AA. Have been clean and sober 20 years and take my meds exactly as prescribed.
I think your problem is different though. For example, I would never take 30 vitamins or 30 Tylenol. To me there would be absolutely no point unless I could get high and I would not be trying to harm myself. I was harming myself but the point was to get high. I would be totally honest with the psychiatrist and if you can have your dad give you your meds as prescribed, start there. What meds are you taking? I think you should go to DBT.

Can you discuss your self-harm urges? It really needs to be treated because you are putting your life at risk. Why don't you want to do DBT? It may help. Psychotherapy would help too. Are you in psychotherapy?

If you are abusing your psyche meds don't you run out before you can get a refill?
Are you willing to let your dad dispense them? I don't understand the reluctance to DBT. It is a therapy used for lots of things. Can't hurt. This is all very very hard on your liver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do but my team manages the meds so I get more the next day and they get my refills fast and no I'm not willing it would make things worse. My nurse thinks I'm testing the team by doing the overdosing and said I could do whatever I wanted with otc meds since they don't have control over that . I feel like my nurse is judging me and labeling me with whatever. Sent from my iPhone
