Depends if you are buying them illegally or prescribed the medication and what the drug is. You have to tell your doctor and get some help. I’ve done the same thing and it’s a tough one and drugs do your brain in. You most likely have to taper off and again your doctor has to know. Withdrawal is dangerous depending on what drug you use.
Narcotics Anonymous is a great resource.
Hope you can get some help – you can’t do it alone.

Get in touch with the doctor who has prescribed this medication to you and let him know about the addiction. If he is familiar with your case, he will then be able to suggest a rehabilitation center in which to get off the drug that has caused the addiction.
It may be necessary for you to be placed on another medication to help with the treatment of your suicidal thoughts and cutting.
Ask your doctor for help.
If your doctor is not willing to help, then ask for the name of another doctor.
The sooner you ask, the sooner the treatment will be start and the less difficult it will be to treat.
