Addictions

The word morphine is derived from 'Morpheus' the god of dreams in Greek mythology. Chemical name for morphine is: (5 alpha, 6 alpha) 7,8 didehydro-4,5 epoxy-17methylmorphinan-3,5diol. It is an opiate alkaloid and a constituent of opium which is the name given to the dried juice of the unripe seedpods of poppy flower (Papaveretum somniferum). Codeine and heroin are derivatives of morphine. Codeine is methylmorphine and is well-known for its analgesic, anti-tussive and anti-diarrhoeal properties. Heroin is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from morphine and is chemically known as diamorphine or diacetylmorphine. Heroin is highly addictive and its abuse has disastrous implications both for the individual and the society. Morphine is a controlled drug from prescription point of view and is usually prescribed as morphine sulphate or under different trade names e.g. MST, MXL, Oramorph and Sevredol etc.

Signs of addiction are different for all people here what you do to see if you are fully addicted to something go 1 full week without whatever you're on if you do it you're not addicted if can't sucks to be u

Answer

If you cannot hold a permanent job, pay the rent and keep up your relationships, AND you are using drugs, addiction is most likely the answer. Physical addiction would mean that you are living from hit to hit.

No it is not narcotic...

It probably depends on your usage habits. For instance, you likely would not get sick if you were to take 1 or 2 10mg hydrocodone after a dentist's appointment and then take suboxone a week later. However, since opioids can accumulate in your body, if you have had a steady habit for a long while it will take longer for them to purge out of your system.

That all depends on the individual. some people get a rx for suboxone and use it for detox . and than some people are in a lot of pain and than end upp back to square one because they are on methadone for pain get physically dependant and suboxone does help with pain but does not help for chronic pain but if your r gives you suboxone and he knows that you where abusing the meds he may start you on three times a day for suboxone and you could be on it for a year. Peolpe who abused by needles are mostlikey looking for a high and should stay on methadone to prevent spreading diseases and because it helps to block other opiates from being injected by cluping up and not allow you to inject it.

it didn't take me long at all. I had neck surgery and I was put on ovycontin and percocet and now I'm dependent on both. When I tried to get off the percocet cold turkey, it was horrible, cold sweats, shaking, basically withdrawal. Not sure how the drs are going to get off them. so basically the answer is highly addictive!

There are no truly defined "steps" in drug addiction. If you try a certain drug, you may become addicted to THAT drug and may not necessarily move to more harmful drugs. It may also vary depending on the drug. For example, if you start with alcohol as a teenager you may become a drinker, or maybe even an alcoholic, for the rest of your life. If you start with marijuana, you may not become "addicted" per say, but you may become a regular user of the drug. Always remember to use common sense and not do anything dangerous, addictive or stupid. Good luck.

It depends on a number of different factors - the patient's tolerance to the opiate, the strength of the opiate taken, how long it's been used, how big the patient is, etc. Since each person is different, the amount of Suboxone that will be effective to get through it will be different for each person as well.

It's better than a shot of Narcan - nothing worse than major league cold turkey.

If you're actually taking a prescription drug, it's actually easier to do an incremental dosage reduction over time. Having been dependent on opiates for many years, and having had to increase and decrease my dosages many times over that period (10 years), I've used incremental dose reduction many times to lower my dosages. Usually it takes about 4-6 weeks depending on the drug. Since I use the strongest dosages of strongest opiates, it takes a bit longer for me than it might for someone using less for a shorter amount of time.

In incremental dose reduction, what you do is cut the pill in half or in quarters. First try taking half your normal prescribed dose, and see how you deal with the withdrawals. If it's too strong, then start with only a 1/4 reduction in dosage. Take it for a week, then drop another 1/4. If the withdrawals are too strong still, then stay at 1/4 dose reduction for another week, then try again. When you can tolerate the withdrawal, then reduce by another 1/4, and repeat the weekly process. Keep doing it until you're completely off of the drug.

Since I'm retired on disability, I have the luxury of being able to sedate myself heavily and remain in bed when dealing with large dosage reductions and withdrawals. Since most people don't have that available to them, it might take longer or shorter amount of time to reduce the drug to the point you can stop taking it.

It also helps to take an OTC med to compensate and ease the withdrawal pain. Two of my favorites are Tylenol Rapid Release Gel-tabs, and Bayer Back and Body Aspirin. I also use them frequently when I don't fell like using any Percocet for breakthrough pain. Bayer works better for withdrawal pain though.

Only when having kids. If the child is positive like the father the mother will have to have a shot to reduce the chances of miscarriage. Seeing as this is a common situation, and is easily solved, it is nothing to worry about.

First you should ask someone close to you to help. Then you should go see a specialized doctor. If you can't stop eating try chewing gum (The have new flavors like key lime pie, strawberry short cake, and others too. If you don't want to eat don't worry about getting fat cause you most likely won't, everybody eats and they aren't all over weight. First and most importantly go to someone you trust for help

Stimulants, in the form of caffeine (coffee and tea). These drugs can produce the desired wakefulness, alertness and sense of well-being, but can also produce cardiac arrhythmias, tremors, insomnia, as well as withdrawal symptoms for some people.

The second most widely abused group of drugs are the nicotine containing substances - cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco.

The most widely used illegal drug is marijuana (except where it can be obtained legally, for medical purposes, in nearly a third of the states of the United States).

stimulant. it constricts the blood vessels and causes the heart to beat faster and blood pressure to go up.

I tried after 24 hrs and went through the worst withdrawal of my life. It is important that you should wait 36hrs after taking methadone to use suboxone. However I did not have the same affect the other way around i.e. taking methadone after being on suboxone

It's been around since the '80s. I'm not sure what year, exactly.

Generally speaking, you don't. If the fetish is harmless and controlled, relax and enjoy it. If the fetish is harmful (hurting other people or yourself, exposing yourself to too much risk) or if it's controlling you, talk to a counselor or therapist.

suboxone has a long halflife about 23hours. day one you will feel no other opiates. day two you will feel them kick in then the suboxone stopping the opiate from working. day three you can begin to feel the full effect of other opiates. be careful not to take more trying to feel the other opiates. eventhough suboxone has naloxone in it, you can still overdose.

they continue to use until they are stoped by a person, institution, or circumstances. they enjoy the effect so they continue to chase after that same high until forced to stop or have no means of obtaining the drug.

According to an article in The New York Times March 17, 2002. "The slang term jones, meaning an addiction to drugs, is said to have originated among addicts who lived in Great Jones Alley, off Great Jones Street, between Broadway and Lafayette Street."

...no. But everyone can get addicted to different things. You might want to see a councilor... Or doctor. Although its not unusual for some people to secretly not be disgusted by the smell of their own feces, i don't think that it is a fashion. It is usual considered a punishment and people are forced to live off it sometimes, maybe you are attracted to the smell and like the form of punishment? I don't know, but I'm not sure if its completely normal... Nothing has ever been mentioned about it in any historic matters;no resorting to it for food. Like i said its considered a punishment and sicko's would force people to live off of it as a form of torture. It's not the healthiest thing to be doing. Its something to do with your psychological health in some aspects. But i really do strongly recommend seeing a doctor or councilor or something. Getting some psychological help... it might help cure it.

Unfortunately, there is no generic for Suboxone. I read something online that a generic is being "worked on" but who knows how reliable that information is. Keep checking with your pharmacy/pharmacist. They may be able to give you more information.

If you mean how long after taking suboxone can you get high from other drugs like lortab and whatever else then I would wait 3 days. Chances are if you're taking suboxone its because you withdrawal so it will probably be hard to go 3 days with nothing. But regardless, you will not get high

They should pay child support and not be allowed see their kids until they get some help for their self or either just stop if they really care for their kids then they will do that...

muffins. poppy seed muffins

Suboxone has a partial opiate in it. Therefore you are still on opiates.

Chemically dependent persons (drug addicts) who are active in their addiction spend each waking second thinking and obsessing about where they are going to get their next fix and how they are going to obtain funds, which will by the way be done by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Essentially addicts only know two feelings: Uncomfortable (Doom) or Comfortable (Gloom). They live to use and use to live.
