Yes it is that bad. First of all, you're going to do damage to your body by continually using these drugs. If you read the directions, there will be a note on all of the drugs you listed that warns against using them longer than a week or so.

Secondly, you're using the drugs to cover up your stress instead of dealing with it in a normal way.

You should talk to a healthcare professional about a more healthy way to handle your stress.
kind of normal to want to, but not normal to do. not that that's a bad thing, i think most people would just stay with beer and weed
u are a drug addict. seek professional help.
I understand why you want an escape...and switching to beer or weed doesn't get to the underlying problems that you may have. If you are using pm drugs to knock you out on a regular basis then you may need to see a therapist or a MD to see if there is a safer alternative. There have been recent studies concerning acetaminophen that show extreme damage to the liver and kidneys in users who constantly turn to the drug. Even though you are probably not exceeding the recommended daily dosage, you are using them when not needed. By taking Tylenol PM or Nyquil you are exposed to other medications that are irrelevant and can be harmful. There are safer sleep aids that you can aquire that are non-habit forming (although it appears that this is a deep-seeded habit already). Please go to a doctor, you could be causing irreversible damage to your body.
i used to abuse prescription drugs. i had a problem, and i had to detox which was hell.
its bad man, u gotta stop. i did, and i'm much more allert and happy.
u should also consult a doctor.
