My partner of 12 years has increasingly become dependant on prescription and over the counter drugs – namely co-codamol 30/500 – 4 doses a day, every day, which she tops up with over the counter pain relief containing codeine. She also gets diazepam from somewhere although I don’t know how much or how often. She flat out denies taking anything extra than that prescribed by the doctor but is falling asleep all the time. I don’t know how to help or how to get her to want help or even admit what she’s doing. Is it usual for someone to be so convincing in their denials. It breaks my heart to see her like this.
