I’m a 17 year old girl. I sometimes abuse prescription drugs, but usually very rarely. But a few weeks ago, I was really stressed out and a guy at school sold me a bunch of pills, so I went on kind of a drug binge during the past 3 weeks. I was high maybe like 10 or 11 days out of the past 21. Some days I took Adderall, between 30 to 50 mg, other days I took 10 mg of Ambien, and other days I took 20 mg of hydrocodone + 2000 mg of acetaminophen.
None of these doses, by themselves, is enough to cause any damage to anything. No massive overdoses here! I think the acetaminophen is the most dangerous, but I never took anything above the maximum daily dosage of 4000 mg. Still, I’m worried that there’s some kind of cumulative effect to taking so many drugs in such a short time period. I know it was really stupid of me, and I don’t plan to repeat it. If I ever use anything ever again, it will be very rarely.
I finally realized how dumb I was being two days ago. My last dose of anything was 50 mg of adderall on January 2nd. The come-down was unusually harsh, and I couldn’t sleep that night. Yesterday, January 3rd, I felt kinda shitty all day. Tired, weak, and (most disturbingly) I had pain in the upper right part of my stomach, like where the liver is :(((
It was mostly just a bit of dull discomfort, like a feeling of “fullness.” Like maybe my liver was swollen or something. But I also had a few sharp “twinges,” like a small sharp pain that would last for a second and then go away. None of this was very bad, just a little uncomfortable and super worrying. Today I feel a lot better, but I still have a little bit of that uncomfortable feeling and a few of the sharp twinges. I’ve been eating a lot of vegetables and citrus fruits and stuff, as kind of a detox, but I’m being a total hypochondriac about this.
There is NO WAY I can tell my parents about this. And I won’t go to a hospital unless I’m seriously sure I will die otherwise. It’s been more than 48 hours since my
