Charlie Sheen was taking "seven gram rocks" of cocaine every day.

The Two and a Half Men actor, who has been undergoing a home rehab course to get help for his drink and drug problems, has confessed he would take vast amounts of the class A drug because he doesn't know how to do things in moderation.

When asked when he last took drugs, Sheen replied: "I don't remember. A couple days before the suits rolled in and said change it ... I probably took more than anybody could survive. I was banging seven gram rocks. Because that's how I roll. I have one speed. I have one gear: Go."

Despite the amount of drugs he has taken over the years, the 45-year-old star says he has no concerns about dying from an overdose.

In a TV interview with ABC News' Andrea Canning for a one-hour edition of 20/20 to be aired, he added: "Dying is for fools. There are certain blends I will not entertain because that's how people go down."

Production on Two and a Half Men was halted by CBS because of Charlie's behaviour, but the father-of-five has hit back and is suing the station for a rumoured $US350 million if they don't complete the last four episodes in the current series.

When asked if he'll sue over the decision, Sheen replied: "Wouldn't you? I'm out of a job. I got a whole family to support.

"I'm going to sue for tons ... I'm here to collect. They're going to lose. I would recommend they pay the crew and get the season back on board."

If filming does resume, Sheen - who was rushed to hospital last month following a 36-hour drink and drug session with a bevy of porn stars - wants his pay to be increased from to $US2.5 million and episode to $US3 million because of what bosses have put him through.

In an interview with NBC's Jeff Rossen for the Today Show, he said: "I'm a man of my word. I want to finish the TV show. I'll even do Season 10, but at this point it's psychological distress. Oh my god. It's $US3 million an episode, take it or leave it.

"Look what they put me through ... I'm underpaid right now. You look at the money they're making, yeah, it's ridiculous."
