Long-term use may result in anxiety, chronic fatigue, depression, and even severe consequences like coma or death from overdose. It's crucial to recognize these risks and seek appropriate treatment options, including detoxification, rehabilitation, and community support groups, to address prescription drug addiction effectively.
