My ex was the same way. Even when he was in "recovery" - he managed to find a psychiatrist who was a total idiot and prescribed him xanax and adderall. Then he'd "lose" the prescription once a week or so, or it would be "stolen" - call the doctor and have a new one called in. I caught him a few times online, researching the best ways to get high on these medications.
He'd also abuse whatever he could get his hands on. At one point, he stole a handful of my dad's meds, who had had recent back surgery, without knowing even what they were. Turned out he took a bunch of blood pressure and heartburn medications. He didn't care. He'd take 4 or 5 benadryl's a night - saying he couldn't sleep. Or whatever else he could find...
