Iv been taking Diazepam and Co-Codamol for around 18 months on and off, more on than off the be honest. I was prescribed them for a back injury I had. I have never been a good sleeper and suffer from anxiety anyway I felt so much better within myself and was sleeping so well I just found myself keep filling my prescription. Fast forward to 18 months And I can't go a day without them I have two fairly young children and a stressful job not that that's any excuse I just don't know what to do or where to turn and to be quite honest I don't feel ready to stop taking them. I've never had an addictive personality I've smoked on an off drunk on and off but never been addicted to anything, Well until now. I'm so ashamed. I have an amazingly supportive husband two lovely healthy children. My family has had a stressful two years but again it's not an excuse I just don't feel mentally ready. I'm too ashamed to speak to my GP. Where do I turn from here?
