Hi, welcome to the group. My niece has the same problem. It is so hard for her to do anything. Please know that you are not alone. After years of being in her house my niece now goes to the doctor once a week. It is a start and I hope that you can find the help that you need. Please know that there is help out there. If you ever need to talk, please send me a message.

Welcome ! Are you suppose to be taking those medication that you are buying and do they help? They are both very powerfull meds and are actually narcotics. Be carefull with them, my Ex-wife was abusing them and became addicted to them. Post here often and there are many great people here if you want/need to talk.

So, both meds your taking are not Narcotics, they are Benzodiazepines, and it would be unusual for a Dr. to prescribe them both at the same time, as they do the same thing and are strong meds to treat Anxiety. Buying meds off of other people is illegal and can get you dismissed from your Dr.'s office if you get caught. Also you should definitely not drink while on these meds, it can create a toxic situation and can become very dangerous very quick.

If you don't have the money to buy your meds, see if there's some type of Government aid to help you. Or you can go to the manufacturers website that makes the medication and see if they offer coupons or sometimes even give medications for free depending on financial situations.
