cookiejar, 20

I have been taking 2-3 motion sickness pills every few days because I like the way they make me feel...Does this mean I'm addicted to pills?

Whats it Mean ?

  • cookiejar if you are taking medication regardless of what type it is because of how it makes you feel and not because you are sick or if you are taking them for reasons other than what they are intended, than you could have a problem. The good news is you can get help.
  • If you cannot quite on your own you should consider seeking out a drug rehab program or speaking with a counselor.
  • You may also want to think about talking to someone you trust, such as your parents, a close friend, or religious leader.
  • You may want to think about why you are taking
  • these pills (other than how they make you feel) the root cause. If you can determine what that is you may be able to make changes in your life that could eliminate your "need" for the feeling these pills give you.
