And how much were you taking?
I honestly don't remember the exact amount but I'm pretty sure it fluxuated a lot. Handfuls of xanies throughout the day and at least a couple of anything-codone a day (I'd do more but I didn't have those in as high of a quantity as the benzos). Had multiple overdoses over the course of about a year and a half, I'm surprised that I survived that stage of my life.
