Anyone here been addicted to diet pills?

I'm about 4.5 years post-op and I've been hiding a secret for a long time. I started taking prescription diet pills 7 years ago, and stopped for about 6 months prior to surgery, and at about 9 months post-op started taking the pills again. I am now seriously addicted to the pills and take 6-8 a day (phentermine or others). I want to get help, but I can't even find anything online to help me with this. Every time I type "diet pill addiction", etc., I just get more web sites that sell the medications. I was reading an article about meth addiction, and many of the signs and symptoms are similar to mine - headaches, mood swings, anxiety, paranoia and aggressiveness. I DO want help, and I know this is so bad for me - can someone please help me? I seriously think that I need somewhere to "go away" to & deal with this and would love to find a treatment center. Thank you to anyone who understands and can help.
