Well done, Prodigal Girl!  I don't know what my advice could do for you, Citag-- and it is interesting that you scold me about the importance of 'your life', when YOU are the one destroying it!

To state the obvious, you are destroying your organ systems, and you are risking dying in your sleep-- something very common among people who do what you are doing.  There is plenty of help out there, either paid or for free through steps or county detox units.  But you can't put it on some doc on the internet to make the difference!  You are the person who needs to take action-- and I strongly recommend that you do.

You are taking too much and if u are having these incidents upon awakening this is not a good sign and u know it. I am worried for you. As far as the damage to ur organs, you very well may have liver damage due to the large amounts of tylenol over 10 yrs.You need a full work up including blood work and a sonogram of your abdomen. A cat scan would suffice as well. I can tell you that I have had similiar incidents of low respiration from taking too any opiates and mixing with benzos. So to answer your question,,, you are overdosing just not enough to kill you but as all addicts know, this could change any time you close ur eyes. Slow down with the cocktails. Don't drink alcohol either while taking all these meds. Not aonly is that a bad combo for instant death, but also taxes your organs as well. Hope that helps.
