DUID & possession of controlled substances

I recently was arrested for DUID and possesion of controlled substances. I had a prescription for Darvocet and had them in my pocket without the bottle due to the bottle getting damaged and then I had some Ativan that my grandmother gave me to help me sleep. I know I can prove the Darvocet, but of course, I am at fault for the Ativan. The thing is, I had taken the Darvocet for my back pain, which wasn't relieving the pain, so I took another. I pulled in a gas station and felt really funny. I couldn't find my wallet (apparently, I left it at another store), so I was a little confused. A police officer happened to pull in the gas station and thought I looked suspicious. I don't really remember anything after that because I pretty much blacked out. I am sure I had too much of the Darvocet. I don't recall (honestly) taking any Ativan, but apparently according to my ER report for the consented legal draw, I admitted to taking Ativan, Marijuana, and Alcohol - which seems to be error because my alcohol level was 0. Regardless, I was taken to jail and spent 1-1/2 days. I was bonded out for the DUID. They told me I might have a warrant for the possession coming. How does this work? I have never been in trouble at all before!
