Medication addicted. Please help me.

Hello, I'm a 23 year old girl from Belgium. I don't know where I have to go with my problem. I'm addicted to medications. I really want to stop, because it's ruining my life. I just want to know if my medications are interacting to eachother. I promise I will stop, but now I just really want to know this. So please help me!
I take:
Effexor XR 150 mg
Dipiperon (antipsychotic) 20mg
I use Ritalin too, I'm prescripted 3 x 10 mg, but I'm addicted to it and I take 250 mg a day ...
I abuse codeine also to 100 mg a day.
Sometimes I take a zolpidem (stilnoct) to sleep but never more than 10 mg. I also take magnesium tablets and fishoil capsules.
Is this combination gonna give me problems?
Please help me?
Thank you
Sara

HI welcome to the forum your on quit a cocktail here are you bipolar ? I am and I recognize a lot of your meds and thats a combo they treat it with...what ever you do DONT just try and quit taking everything here....you have a lot going on the codeine we can deal with with a home detox but the other stuff you need to speek with a doctor about im not sure if its safe to just stop that much rittlin or not....best to leave that up to a doctor my bet is they will taper you off slowly just be honest with the doctor your not the first one to become addicted to
all this stuff...your so young take the time now to get off of this stuff at least the rittlin and codeine....theirs no shame in taking an antidepressant or antipsychotic if you need one
but the other 2 are trouble keep posting for support if you want to do something about the codeine we can walk you threw a home detox start by reading some of the posts coming of most narcotics is similar good luck and God bless......Gnarly

Hi~  Yes,some of these medications will potentiate the others. You are taking way too much Ritalin and then ending the day with a sleeping pill. None of this is good for you.

You need to speak with your doctor and ask for help as soon as possible.

Good luck~
