Sorry you're suffering. I hope you can get some help.
Drugging is also taking prescribed medication not as indicated by the doctor, not only for pleasure.
To give an analogy--I didn't always drink for pleasure. By the end, I was drinking to attempt to alleviate anxiety, depression, to stave off withdrawal. I was obviously abusing alcohol.
Prescribed medication can be abused the same way. If you have any concerns that your medication isn't working as prescribed, then discuss it with your doctor.
I don't mean this as an attack, but as a friendly reminder. I've known people who thought that just because a medicine was prescribed, that that meant that it couldn't be abused.
I'm only mentioning it because I care.
Please take care of yourself. Lots of deep breaths.
