Sleeping Pill Addiction.?
Question by S. C: Sleeping Pill addiction.?
So I have become quit hypocrite. I am 35 yr old female, who never unde. understood the drug addiction. It started out that I just could not sleep and was taking a couple nightime sleep aids. Then, my doctor prescribed me Ambien, After 3 yrs of being on that, it no longer works. I am now taking approximately 10 uisom, 5 Xanax and 2 Ambien EVERY NIGHT. I can still get up in the morning, I can still function fine during the day. I have four children. I want very badly to get off these, and when I try to cut down at night…. I can’t sleep, And am crabby and frustrated during the day. Afraid to admit this problem to my doctor. How can I deal with this on my own, or can I????? My husband is worried and pissed.
Best answer:
Answer by him
take more….Take More!!!! TAKE MORE!!!!!!!

well i suggest either 2 things.
go see ur doctor, nothing is ever to severe not to talk to him about it.
OR
ask your self, do you love ur life, ur family, ur home, and everything wonderful in your life? if you do then you should be able to find the will power to stop taking them, its like quitting smoking, dont stop all of a sudden ur body will go into shock. cut down on them one pill at a time, i would suggest taking out 1 pill a week.
try exercising to help your body get worn down, instead of coming home to the tv take everyone out for a nice stroll or if no one wants to go with you just walk around your house a few times to get ur blood pumping. eat more fiber and lay off any type of caffeine, no soda, coffee or tea. any time u feel urself starting to slow down during the day just keep ur self moving, stay peppy, if u keep active all day u will get tired in the evening. eat 3-4 hours before going to sleep so ur body isnt trying to digest ur food all night keeping u awake.
you need to have people around you keeping u optimistic, it will be much much harder to do something like this by yourself.
im trying to gain 10lbs to get into the airforce, and i have told everyone i know what im doing so when they ask me how its going it just reminds me that i need to keep doing it so i dont have ppl breathing down my neck, specially my recruiter 😛
DO NOT BE EMBARRASSED. if you have a problem, thats fine what ever. if someone starts to think of you differently because u take more sleeping pills that average then they wernt a true friend to begin with.
DO FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. F*ck everyone else that doesnt matter.
