Medically, it is the compulsive physiological and psychological need for a habit-forming substance.

What is the definition of compulsive eating?

Compulsive eating, also often called compulsive over-eating, is a type of an eating disorder. It is characterized by an over-eating (bingeing) food habit. People will begin to eat secretively or even non-stop, even when the person is not actually hungry. Many become overweight and develop obesity-related health conditions (heart problems, diabetes, ect.) Their latent depression then blooms.

Compulsions/addictions of this sort begin as mechanisms to cope with overwhelming feelings. The (eating) behavior starts in order to soothe, comfort and partially anesthetise, but eventually makes the person's life unmanageable. The behavior takes on a life of its own and the person cannot seem to stop it, regardless of the fact that they know exactly how much damage it is causing. The addict is not unaware of calories, carbohydrates and portion control. They simply can. not. stop.

Compulsive eaters have powerful tools available to them for living a saner life, if they get themselves to a 12-step meeting, immediately. Groups like CEA-HOW, OA and FA know exactly how you feel. They are peers, not pros.

How do you get suboxone?

it is actually quite simple to start suboxone treatment!!! all you do is find a doctor near you that can prescribe it since the dr has to have a special license to prescribe it not just any dr can. u have to be in withdrawals first which is the hardest part. some insurances cover it some dont. but if your insurance doesnt cover it its between $4.00-$7.00 per pill. but trust me it is well worth it. the dr will help you find the right dosage and for me it worked almost instantly! good luck!!!

What negative consequences come from drug abuse?

Once drug "use" becomes "abuse" it has taken over the person's life to the extent that it interferes with every aspect of living. Negative consequences include: 1) job loss due to poor job performance, excessive absences and lateness 2) divorce or lost relationships because the drug is more important than the people in your life and you will lie to them, cheat on them, ignore them for the drugs. 3) Loss of material possessions because of money needed to buy more drugs. 4) Loss of dignity because of how low you wsll sink to obtain and do the drugs. 5) eventual loss of health because ANY drug is bad for you once it is abused. 6) Death - ALONE - because if you don't wake up once you hit the bottom and get help you will have burned through every family and friend relationship you ever had trying to keep doing the drugs.

How can you stop eating your dry skin and biting your nails?

Yes you can since it is a habit and you can stop habits. I use to bite me nails and one day decided not to, so I replaced it with something else. Every time I feel like I want to bite them I groom them. I carry a file around with me and use it. I have found that when there is a sharp edge and they feel uneven or get broken that is the time I am most apt to bite them so the file takes the place of that. I don't bite them and they look good.

Can you take methadone 24 hours after taking suboxone for withdrawal?

You should not for the following reasons..

Not only is it foolish to replace substances,

but suboxone is a opiate blocker,

and when you are withdrawing, taking this will create a crisis in the chemicals of your brain, meaning it can cause you withdrawal symptoms to become much more painful.

What is the path of addiction sequence?

Referring to the pattern that addiction follows in most cases:

1. the addict has the first experience with a substance or behavior that fills a need, and it is a "feel good" experience that they begin to crave more of. This could be years before they actually begin to suffer the effects of addiction, but is known as the "qualifying event". An example would be a child is upset, angry, feeling an extreme sadness of some kind and goes to the medicine cabinet in an act of rebellion, takes an old prescription of a narcotic, and instantly feels a certain "relief" or "euphoria" taking the pill(s). That experience is saturated in the part of the brain that recognizes such feelings, and stored away. Since addiction is considered a brain disorder and not something that a person "acquires", that experience simply starts the sequence that will ultimately take their life.

2. At some point, be it hours or years, the addict returns to that particular experience- and tries to replicate it. They might take someone else's medication from their medicine cabinet (using the previous mentioned example as a sort of "road map"), thereby replicating the experience , and again, it proves to be a "feel good" time that, in the addict's mind, is going to solve whatever problem or feeling they want to get rid of, even though they know that the drug or behavior is considered harmful or contraindicated. At this point, however, their life has not been affected.

3. The behavior or substance continues to be sought after- and the life of the addict begins to reflect the time and energy it takes to seek out that "addiction". Now enters the part of addiction where denial, rationalizing, manipulating others to get that drug or to continue the behavior and minimizing the effect the behavior is having on their life and those they love, and the structure of the addict's life begins to crumble.

Their education, relationships, daily living, financial situation, and many other aspects of one's life are affected in a negative way. The addict often times cannot SEE how dire the circumstances are becoming, although during this part of their journey they might have what is called a "window of clarity", where they suddenly discover or see clearly what is happening to them, and desperately want help to change it, knowing they cannot do it alone. Many addicts try and attempt to "fix" their problems with substances or destructive behaviors on their own, and as they say in the 12 step programs, ":your best ideas, your best intentions got you to where you are today"".

Addiction is the only disease that TELLS YOU THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A DISEASE.

Even with tangible, undisputed proof that this addiction is killing the addict, they continue with their denial- rationalizing, minimizing, and even blaming their problems on o thers.

4. The addict has a window of clarity as mentioned prior, and they may seek help at this point. It is VERY important that at this time, anyone whom is close to the addict do anything they can to engage them in treatment.

*** (please look up "enabling" if you are close to an addict, because there is a difference between trying to help your loved one engage in treatment versus enabling them to do so)***'

Often times, helping an addict involves treating them in a way that is not natural- such as asking them to leave your home, or firing them from their job so they don't have an income with which to use drugs. Unlike other diseases and disorders, "helping" an addict often times does NOT feel good, nor does it feel as if you are helping, until they are in active recovery.

5. If the addict DOES engage in recovery- then the disorder is put into "remission" like any other disease or disorder. It does not, however, become "cured". Similar to cancer or diabetes, it is something that cannot go unchecked. Addiction is a life long disease, and even those who have been abstinent for 20 or more years can, at any time, and for any reason, "relapse"/

RELAPSE- a return to active use of the behavior or drug that was harming the individual- despite the consequences and negative experiences that accompany whatever "good feeling" the drug or behavior provides the addict.

Relapse is very common at this point in the addiction cycle, and often times although it can be deadly and incredibly harmful, if the person lives through it, can be incredibly potent in keeping the addict back in recovery- inspiring them to not relapse again. If the relapse is processed with trained professionals in a supportive setting, the addict can grow and learn from it.

6. Sustained recovery is the goal of any addict emerging from addiction. If this is not reached, the addict will either relapse, continuing the cycle or eventually lose their life to the addiction or the effects of it. thereby ending the "sequence" or cycle. (such as using IV heroin, the addict might not die from an overdose , but they could die from HIV contracted from their use and abuse of IV heroin by sharing dirty needles)

How do you come down?

It depends what you are coming down from. With any drug you have the option of (depending on your area) going to a detox center where they will medically supervise and assist you in this process. If you are talking about long term, chronic alcohol use you may want to strongly consider going to a 'detox' or addiction treatment center because there is a risk of seizures with alcohol withdrawal. If you are talking about prescription benzodiazepines or opioids (oxys, codeine, etc) you will experience actual physical pain. This can be relieved with the BRATS diet, mushed bananas, rice water (cook rice, throw out the rice, drink the water), applesauce and toast or if you don't have or like toast, then soda crackers. The trick to this is that you have to eat all of these items at the same time to be effective, but it can help with some withdrawal symptoms. I hope that's helpful, your question isn't very specific.

Suboxine (buprenorphine-naloxone) is an opioid. Its half life is 36 hours - that means in 36 hours, your blood level of this drug would be reduced by 50%; in 72 hours, your blood level of the medication would be reduced by another 25%, and so on.

Are drug addicts pathological liars?

There is no standard layout for the nature of a drug 'addict'. Addiction is simply a term that is frequently used incorrectly, used to label frequent drug users or drug users who have used to the point that they experience physical and psychological urges to obtain the drug or obtain something to allow them to do the latter. Drug 'addicts' will frequently lie to get the drug but it ultimately depends on the person and the willpower of that person. Addiction is a highly disputed subject among both the professional and the layman's world.

When someone is addicted to a drug or alcohol they will frequently lie to maintain their addiction. For example they will lie about money, where they were etc. It comes with the territory so to speak. This doesn't mean they are overall liars about everything or overall bad people, they just are trying to continue their addiction. It is a complicated thing to understand.

Pain control with suboxone?

It is a time release formulation of buprenorphine, a mixed opiate agonist / antagonist with a long half-life (stays in the body for a long time). It is used to treat opiate (heroin) addiction in a manner similar to methadone - it prevents the addict from going through withdrawal by maintaining their physical dependence, while hopefully giving them time to recover mentally and financially.

Buprenorphine has several advantages over methadone as a maintenance medication. Most importantly, it can be prescribed a month at a time, so the patient doesn't need to go to the methadone clinic every day. Withdrawal is less severe, and it effectively blocks other opiates so the patient can no longer get high. Ultimately, however, it is another form of addiction, and the patient must either go through withdrawal at some point or take the medication the rest of their life. I am looking more for documentation of it's actual use in place of other meds i.e methadone. I have been put on it, and yet I still can['t seem to get the answers I am looking for from my Dr. who is all for it, being a Pain Management MD< and a meth. withdrawal clinic with suboxone or subutex used.
