Hi and welcome 
Have a look around the substance abuse part of the forum. Sorry but I can't help you 'cause I'm an alki! A few of us here are alkis, which, although isn't a simple addiction. Its just the one 'drug' (booze)!
I guess if you are on pills, there are lots of different sorts to be addicted to!
What I did when I came here to SR, was read and read and read... some really great support here. And knowing that you are not alone in this is a blessing... good luck to you x

Welcome to SR! I've been here three months and it's been a life saver. Keep posting and sharing. People on this forum are incredibly kind and supportive.
Isn't risperdone for bipolar? Just asking because I'm taking a med for that. i'm no doc and am not giving advice, but i was told that it's best to get clean of the drugs/alcohol before addressing and prescribing meds for mental disorders. just something you might want to think about. i went through a few psychs before finding the best one for me. a therapist helped me navigate this because i couldn't tell who could best meet my needs.
anyway, you will find inspiration and guidance just from people sharing their experiences on this site. i've learned so much in such a short time.

Is going to a rehab facility a possibility for you? With all the different dugs and drug interactions you have to be careful. Especially since you're taking psych medications as well. A psych facility might be able to help you safely detox of the pain pills and the hypnotic while evening out your psych medication. When i went to detox for alcohol they hooked me up with a therapist, a counselor and a psych. My psych got me on all the proper meds i needed (bipolar and anti-craving) and that's helped me a lot.

When I quit drinking, I had terrible itching. My feet were the worst. It lasted a couple months. I believe it is toxins getting out of the liver. Maybe it's the same for you. Could be. Anyway, it's good to get the toxins out. I believe sweating is good for this. Hugs to you.:ghug3
