Addictions

First of all you can become addicted to them both mentally and physically, they can harm your liver and kidneys not to mention your brain. Only use them as prescribed and for no longer than prescribed, trust me

"Early in use, all of the positive things that are said about cocaine are true. As use continues, all the negative things become true." - Frank Gawin "Treating addiction to heroin with methadone is like treating addiction to scotch with bourbon." - Thomas S. Szasz "Speed will turn you into your parents." - Frank Zappa "What happens to the guy who smokes pot all the time? I don't know. But I do know something is being mortgaged; something is being drawn out of the future." - Norman Mailer

Physiologically, drugs change the way chemicals and cells in the brain interact with each other either by disrupting data being transferred from cell to cell, or reacting with chemicals in the brain. This produces changes in the way people think, the way people experience their senses, and the way people behave. Stimulants (Cocaine, Amphetamine, etc) usually increase concentration, increase heartrate, and heighten the senses. Depressents (Heroin, Alcohol, Benzodiazepines) usually do the opposite. And Hallucinogens (LSD, Psylocibe mushrooms, cannabis) interrupt the flow of information from the senses to your brain, which distorts your version of reality. Causing hallucinations and what can only be described as strange distortions of objects, sounds, and feelings.

Psychologically, drugs can make the user feel and behave differently depending on the type. Stimulants usually make the user feel focused, sometimes confident (Particularly with cocaine) and euphoric. Depressents can make the user feel happy, care free, they can stop the feeling of pain to a degree. Hallucinogens can make people feel connected with others, connected with their environment and can make them feel very introspective. These feelings have a flipside. Depending on the environment people take certain drugs in, and their feelings before dosing, these psychological effects can be very different. Stimulants can induce paranoia, being focused on the thought people have evil intentions towards you. Depressents can do the same, but can also make people very emotional and sensitive to negative feelings (Particularly alcohol). And hallucinogens can cause feelings of dread, the sensation that you're going to die or bad things are going to happen. Or simply fear of varying degrees.

Socially, drugs can strengthen relationships and change a person's personality. Stimulants can cause people to become confident socially. Depressents can lower inhibitions. And hallucinogens can make people introspective, making them look at themselves, or even their surrounding environment and other people in very different ways. Another flipside. Stimulants can make people uncontrollable, too confident, or wreckless or to view others negatively they once thought positively of. Depressents can cause awquard social situations. And hallucinogens can cause people to become very scared of certain things if things go the wrong way.

Can't think of many other ways I can answer your question, I'll improve when I can. And I hope I answered it in at least one way you wanted to know.

Drug abuse, normally leads to addiction because of its attack on the brain. Your brain then becomes familiar to the feeling the drug brings when you've misused it. So when you try to stop, and you have symptoms of withdrawl, you often times feel the pain, and illness it brings, and then it becomes a choice whether to suffer through a couple of days or to keep using. When people make this decision it often leads to addiction to the the fact that your body is used to it. easy-peasy.

You gain a dependency and everything you care about wont mean anything unless you're impaired. It ruins relations and doesn't give you a great title to have. And it can Kill you taking you away from everything you care about.

I cover my hands with clothing, like my sleeves, when they're cold.

I don't think it means anything specific, or bad.

Just that maybe you should turn the heat up?

Haha.

Since Goody's Powder contains both aspirin and acetaminophen, it would be reasonable to assume that two of the possible results would be stomach irritation -- perhaps ulcers -- (aspirin) and liver malfunction (acetaminophen). Both would be exaggerated and accelerated by use of alcohol.

Yes it is !

and here is a story i wrote in English at school today: (got an excellence)

He stood out on the deck, mesmerised. The ocean glistened in the sunlight, shining the most brilliant blue. But the wall of water was looming closer and closer. He couldn't move his legs, or his mouth. Frozen. Inside his head, He knew if he had any chance of survival he had to run - now. He was terrified. Because although it looked too beautiful to be dangerous, it was going to destroy everything and everyone.

There was no time to save any possessions, there was barely enough time to save himself. He leapt out the back door and sprinted away down the street, as far away from the ocean as possible. Puffing, out of breath, he stole a quick glance over his shoulder. The wave was catching up on him. His foot caught on the uneven pavement, and his head was smacked against the path. A hot trickle of blood ran down over his eyes. His head was thumping and his vision became cloudy. He stumbled to his feet, but too late. The wave was upon him. This was the end.

He took a deep breath and then the water enveloped him. The air he had just inhaled was punched out of him. He was being crushed by the powerful rush of water. He thrashed around trying to find something to anchor himself to the ground with. Nothing. The washing machine water was throwing him around. He felt helpless, which was not a feeling a strong man was normally supposed to feel. He was washed away as if he was a piece of driftwood. There was nothing he could do about it. He was trapped beneath the surface of the ocean.

As the water started to settle he looked up and saw a glimmer of sunlight reflecting on the surface. But the light was too far away. He was too weak to fight, and he couldn't hold on any longer. His lungs were empty, he had nothing left. As water started to seep inside of him, he let go of everything. Slowly, slowly he sank to the bottom.

when addictions escalate and the individual loses his or her job or drop out of school

I HAVE BEEN TAKING SUBOXONE FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW AND ALTHOUGH IN MY OPINION IT IS THE BEST PILL EVER INVENTED, THERE ARE TIME IN WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE PAIN MEDICATION FOR SURGERIES, TOOTHACHES, CAR ACCIDENTS, ETC. I HAVE FOUNF THAT IT TAKE ME USUALLY 4-6 DAYS FOR IT TO LEAVE MY BODY WHEN I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT CONSISTENTLY OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO TAKE ANYTHING BEFORE IS WASTING THEIR TIME. THANK YOU

do not snort suboxone, it will not get you high, it is designed to really only work if taken sublingually. Plus that would hurt very bad, trust me just let it dissolve under your tongue or you won't feel anything.

I dont know how long it stays in your system but it will get you high if you snort it

I am no doctor but I have done it roughly every day for two years or so and had no problem what so ever. Just take it easy on your liver and dont take too many meds at once. Also drink a lot of water to help your body process things easier.

No, you will not go into withdrawls, however, it would be a waste of Diluadid since Suboxone is an opiod-blocker and keeps you from getting high off of any opiate. But if you were taking Dilaudid and then immediately began taking Suboxone, THAT would cause you to go into withdrawls.

You can't really force an addict into rehab. You have to give them the choice to go into rehab but if it keeps getting worse I wouldn't give them the choice I would just put them in rehab, so that they can get better and not get addicted to whatever they were addicted to.

There is a difference between dependence and abuse. Someone taking a prescribed medication will often become physically dependent. If that is the case the doctor will taper the doses slowly down to avoid withdrawals.

Someone who is abusing alcohol or medications or drugs will come to rely mentally on the substance. People who are abusing a substance won't be able to take as suggested. They will take more often and for many reasons. Any reason will do sometimes. Usually it is to get loaded. Normal social drinkers don't ask themselves if they could be alcoholic and people who take their meds as described usually don't have a question of abuse in their minds. It's important to trust ones instincts. If the instinct says there may be a problem, then there may be. A doctor should be consulted in either case. There is no need for embarrassment as the doctor has seen it all before.

Klonopin is classified as a benzodiazepine (benzo).1 While benzos do help with opiate withdrawals, they are just as addictive. Try not to take them on a daily basis, or you run the risk of replacing one habit with another. Actually, it is safer to take Suboxone rather than a benzo every day. That is just my opinion. This is mainly because you can get very high on benzos while (as I am sure you know) Suboxone has a "ceiling" effect," which means that you can't really get high off of it.

Yes they do

No, each require their own test. Therefore, methadone will only show up as methadone and suboxone will only show up as suboxone.

The alcohol that you drink goes into your bloodstream and affects you spine, brain, and organs. Which makes even simple things hard to do. Alcohol doesn't solve problems, it is actually one of the main causes for teenage suicides. It also causes hang overs (which are not pleasent) and weight problems because of all the calories. Remember, alcohol is also a very addictive liquid drug. It also affects your line of thinking, things are harder to remember and defects braincells. Be safe.

Yes, it is okay to take NyQuil if you are taking Suboxone. I am on Suboxone and I take NyQuil; in fact I just took some yesterday.

How do you load a gun and point it in your face? Never take any other heavy drug while on dextromethorpan. DXM is a dissociative narcotic (it hinders your brain from communicating with itself) taking a drug like suboxone while on it can kill you, i do not recommend it.

Correction, taking a low dose of DXM (60-75mg) with Suboxone will potentiate the effects of the opiate and is not particularly dangerous. It is, however, dangerous to take Suboxone on a recreational dose of DXM as there is a risk of increased respiratory depression from the combination.

it messes up your perception and reflexes

If you are taking hydrocodone that is being prescribed to you, you should have your doctor work out a gradual weening schedule to slowly take you off the drug. If you have been using it recreationally, and have developed an addiction, the same principle applies. You need to gradually reduce the amount you take, both in dosage and frequency. You will notice withdrawal symptoms, which are not pleasant, but which will be stronger or weaker in relation to how fast you ween yourself. If you feel that you are highly addicted, or that you lack the willpower or strength to do this yourself, you definitely need to get help. If you don't have a family doctor, or don't want this going "public", there are shelters, outreach programs, and community services, like Catholic Community Services, that will work with you for free, or on a sliding scale. Quitting a narcotic addiction is painful and painstaking, and I wish you, or the person you are thinking of, all the best of luck.

Methadone is giving for two reason one is for chronic pain and the other is to detox a person who is addicted to opiates. methadone is an opiod which is addictive its self but it stays in your body longer and you dont get the high feeling from whatever opiates you were using and then when the dr feels its time they will slowly bring you off the methadone
