Overdose/ Self-Poisoning Question - I have been taking small overdoses for the last few weeks

[all-hope.lost-forever]

Erm yeah as the title says...Im not taking them to kill myself but to numb the pain that i feel emotionally.. But i think im addicted to the painkillers now as when i dont take them i panic..Its kinda hard to explain..

Anyway over the last few days i been getting pains in my side and stomach and am wondering has the tablets done any harm maybe? or could it be just me overreacting? or maybe its just in my head..

For two years I did that, and I get where you're coming from on this.

Painkillers can do weird things to your stomach lining and stuff.

Maybe you should go to the doctors and tell them the symptoms and see what they think it is.

Even small overdoses can cause damage, particularly if you've been taking them regularly.
I think you should go to the doctors and explain the situation to them.
You could PM a first aid advisor with amounts if you think you need to.

Take care

As mentioned above, painkillers can irrate the lining of your stomach, whch may be the cause of your pain. Painkillers should not be taken on an empty stomach for this reason. However, you should try to avoid overdosing on them. I am sure you are aware of the dangers such as organ damage.
Addictions are hard to overcome, but the sooner you seek help for it, the easier it is to get through it.
Perhaps it might be worth speaking to your GP about how you are feeling. They can also check you over to make sure that yohave not causesd any permant damage from your overdose.
