However i need help, my bf is constanly taking tablets, like paracetomol at least everyday and sleeping tablets amongst other, over the counter drugs. He has recently been buying Diazepam tablets over the internet and taking 2 10mg tablets at a time before going to bed! I'm not silly in thinking this is wrong! he gets very defensive when i talk to him about it and ask him why, he just says because he wants to? ..... Do these have side effects can they harm him by taking so mjuch tablets everyday? please help ...

He didn't take sleeping pills but he would have if he could get his hands on them. He would put anything in his body. He smoked pot every second of the day. Even at work. (He's got a prestigious job too). He would take robitussin. Oxicontins. Anything he could get his hands on. Oh and when shroom season came around he would eat an entire bag of shrooms in one sitting. Do you know what that much does to you?? It was terrible. And the only reason he never tried coke or anything heavier was because his friend O.D.ed from coke and something else. (horrible tragic story). And also he knew he had a problem. He knew he was a drug addict. He tried to stop especially after he first met me. Not because I was the annoying type in fact I didn't even realise the severity of his problem. But I guess he was thinking of marrying me and wanted to be a better person. This was his own initiative but he never could break the habit. But he really struggled. I wish you could have seen him the day he decided he was quitting. We were on St. Mark's Place sitting on some steps and he was shaking and anxious and pacing up and down the street. I felt so bad.
Drug habit is something that is bigger than just sleeping pills. It is like an innate urge and need for drugs period. And it can be very damaging. He has got a problem. I would definitely be concerned if I were you. Very concerned. He might need rehab.

 I think they do...But I dunno how could you help him cause if he doesn't wanna talk to you about it I guess he also wouldn't wanna go and see a doctor for the same reason.Probably he has some problems with sleeping and maybe you should check www.anxietyhelp.org or something like that.Honestly I could shit on forever but couldn't give you any particular advice cause I'm not an expert.Best wishes
