Dangerous Situation: Dual Benzodiazepines / Morphine addiction
Answered by Lita Perna, MA, Family and Community Counseling
Question
You seem to know you are in a dangerous and possibly deadly situation. Your fear is the most healthy thing about your situation. In your case, fear is good. You say you feel you should come off the morphine. You say you take more of Benzodiazepines and Morphine than prescribed. You say you're getting the sweats. Who can know if this is Xanax or morphine withdrawl? You say your tolerance level is high for both drugs. It is. It will increase. It may kill you.
Let your fear motivate you. Let your fear keep you alive. Let your fear get you the help you desperately need. You can't do this alone. You don't have to.
Act now. Today. This minute.
You need to get yourself to a professional ASAP who specializes in anxiety disorders (look up therapists on Google or get a referral) who can also link you up with a physician who treats addiction.
Being brave is not, not feeling fear, but acting in spite of it. Get help fast. Do it now.
Do this FAST! Don't wait.
