Depends if you are buying them illegally or prescribed the medication and what the drug is. You have to tell your doctor and get some help. I’ve done the same thing and it’s a tough one and drugs do your brain in. You most likely have to taper off and again your doctor has to know. Withdrawal is dangerous depending on what drug you use.
Narcotics Anonymous is a great resource.
Hope you can get some help – you can’t do it alone.
