Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

You have been using someone else's medication and now feel addicted to it.

If you could please mention whar drugs are you taking, I would be able to guide you better.

I think you must tell your psychiatrist about this so that appropriate treatment can be started immediately.

I am always available to help you here in all the possible ways.

Kindly mention what medicines are you taking?
Also, do you feel any withdrawal symptoms when you do not take those medicines?

Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care.
Thanks.
