Sleepin Pills???

I am not sure whether this is me trying to escaoe my problems or what??? I have never ever touched anything other than paracetamol and other minor pain relief. I started taking codiene on a night to helo me sleep. Would take 2 every now and again and they would knock me out. This has become more frequent, had to start taking more to make me sleep and now I am taking his sleepin pills. He gets them from his doctor to help him sleep while he is off subbies. Well he is still on them so only takes them now and again. Its like I enjoy the feeling, drifting off without a care in the world and sleeping solid till the next morning. Only trouble is they make me really grouchy and I cant drag myself out of bed in the morning. I dont take them every night but I am scared incase I become addicted. Especially with his addiction??

He is still using, injecting always now (apparently the gear goes further) probs bull sh*t but I dont really care, his body. Anyway he has built up subbies and even selling them occasionally to buy his stuff. He cant go more than 24 hours so that he can get on subbies. Before he injected he could leave it 24 hours and get onto them, but now since injecting he aint been able to get on them. He cant go long enough and the last few times he has tried they have made him seriously sick. I thought he was dying. I have told him to go on meth but he still insists he is giving it one more try to get on subbies because he has the script and its better for you etc etc, but while he is trying he is still not trying if you know what i mean and still waisting money. We must spend about 300 pounds a week, not on gear alone but still 25 to 35 pounds a day. I know it aint that bad for people who have had a bad habbit and spend double or even more in a day but still that money a day could go on something for Christmas.

Anyway I have totally gone off the subject cos I havent been on here for ages and had a moan...lol.

What do you guys think about the tablets?? Should I stop taking them? I know now and again is harmless but what if I start wanting more and more??? or am I just worrying for nothing?? xx

..My personal thoughts is ya shud stop taking them now and i mean now..you will end up getting a taste for them more frequently..thats how peeps start on gear..just having a little bitta gear here n there cos they like the feeling it gives them and can make problems go away at least for a few hours..then the next thing they know, they're taking gear more often then they get a full blown habit..wether its powder/pills of different kinds..its addictive and will get hold of ya one day where you won't have the strength not to take one or two as ya tolerence to them will make you take more..stop them now mate while you have the chance to not get addictive to sleping pills..take care..Robbie..
Lynds being an ex addict to all types of benzos and downers i know the momentary escape they bring but i would echo what Robbie said they are sneaky lil f***ers if ya keep at em one or two wont be enough youll be throwing loads down yer neck coz most sleeping pills whether they are benzos or hypnotics only really work for about 6wks.then you build up a tolerance.Try to get off them soon coz in the end they are only a crutch and a troublesome one at that.Take care..........Davey
Bunny - don't get into taking sleeping pills. Yes they are addictive, and you will get tolerant, which means that they won't knock you out any more, but if you don't take them you be agitated and sleepless all night. So then you end up taking more etc etc. Just bin it. I understand why you need to escape, but it's just him you need to escape from. He has no intention of stopping, and you ever sat down and worked out how much that 25 - 35 a day works out over a month or a year. It's 245 a week. About 1000 a month. About 12,000 a year. That's 100,000 over 8 years. You could buy a house, outright, in less than 8 years, in what he spends on heroin. Just heroin. you wasted, girl, you wasted. Frightening, ain't it?

Hey hun, I don't know anything about sleeping pills, but if you're worried then you're probably telling yourself something, right?

But on the other bit of what you said...Sean uses IV...he really struggled to get on the subbies because you gotta leave it long enough for the H to be completely out of your system or you'll feel really s*** cos they kick you into serious immediate W/D...he timed it wrong a few times and got seriously sick...but then when he finally did it, he had to go pretty much cold turkey, left it as long as possible...you know the drill...all night long...bringing lucasade and squash, watching films and watching him puke and shake and sweat and be grouchy then grateful...blah blah blah...then the subbies kick in and it's all ok...eventually!!! But yeah he's done it before and it still took ihm several attempts...leave it as long as he thinks he can...then leave it a few hours longer!

And for god's sake don't tell him about how it seems to be possible to hop on and off the subbies once you're settled...three days on and thena few days using...great! Except there's a much higher risk of O/D.

Good luck! Keep us posted...
Much love, Maddy x
Bunny,

It's a yes from me as well. See how ya said they make ya grouchy? Sneakys is right. Seems anything that makes ya feel great always got the other side.

Hope you're doing alright, babes. Better to lose some sleep if it comes down to it than get A-ddicted.
It is to easy, to damn easy to pick up a pill, an anything in this madness
How easy I mean really it is only this one pill right, here and there what a lovely off switch, until it becomes something more.

Take a look inside and see why the need, why you arent, or cant sleep, as solving the whys within you will ensure that you sleep the best you can every night no matter what is going on around

Are you worrying for nothing, no waycan this become something really bad as time goes on damn straight it can and will it well no one can tell you the answer to that.yet is it worth the chance. Is anything worth that chance when you kinda see that something isnt just right

I am not thinking you would be really asking any of this if you didnt find something off within you.

Take good care of you,
Love,
Tina
Wow..you all hit the nail on the head and I have taken your advice on board and I aint touched them for a while now. I think I kind of knew what ya all were going to say but I guess I just wanted you lot to confirm it.

It is as you say just like heroin.....you take it, then take a little more, then more and then bang your addicted. Even after only a few nights of taking half I found it even more difficult so sleep..I think allot is phycological too though.

Anyway I am gonna sort out why I aint sleepin then maybe thats better than walking around the problem which is causing me to loose all this sleep.

Thanks again!! xx
There you go, Bunny.........Bunny, you're a wise woman.......you're a good mommy...........I think you got it in ya.....like right there........I don't know what I'm trying to say......I just see real good things for you........coming soon.

You always just stop short........like sometimes I think you will break apart and just loose it, but ya always pull it in..........it's interesting.

Tina, kind of touched on it........like YOU KNOW but ya want someone to confirm it for ya........but you got it in ya........to TRUST YOURSELF.

Pay me no mind......I'm a pseudo intellectual........pfffffft........you're mad cool too, girlie............and sweet to go with it..........you ain't needing no stinking addiction, Sister.
