Addictions

Absolutely. Taking to many, even a couple every day can cause your intestine to rupture and cause internal bleeding. This is very painful. If you are taking it for dieting reasons, don't! Seriously. But, if you have been constipated, try Milk of Magnesia or visit the doctor for a remedy to soothe you.

Generally speaking, little or no effect on kidney function. However, kidney function may have an effect on the drugs. Most antibiotics are excreted via the kidneys, and reduced kidney function can cause a buildup in the body exceeding normal dosage levels.

Vicodin is a synthetic morphine type med, made in a lab but is 99% same as the opium div that morphine is gained from.

Drink lots of coconut water and try to have somebody you can talk to about what you are going through. And remember that this too shall pass. :-)

Absolutely not! don't ever mix Suboxone with a benzodiazepine, if you do. There's a huge chance of respiratory depression or death!

If you do it intentionally, it's called glue sniffing, and it is definitely NOT a good idea.

With addictive substances that are declared illegal, by the vast majority of the world's nations, only an "underground" economy (e.g. drug trafficking) can satisfy the demand of those addicted.

That being said, marijuana is more controversial - in that many users partake more intermittently than tobacco users, and at less cost to society, medically, but great cost to society, legally (solely because marijuana is illegal). In 2009, there were 800,000 individuals in the U.S. who were prosecuted for illegal marijuana possession. With the current state of the U.S. economy - being in a long downturn (recession) an increasing number of people are beginning to consider remedies to this situation, including decriminalization, or outright legalization. In one popular conception, marijuana would be treated like cigarettes. It would be illegal for minors to possess, and prosecuted similarly to minors in possession of tobacco. Yet, it could be sold with state and federal taxes built into the sale price, thus bolstering the economy (rather than draining it via large legal costs to society) and, potentially, decrease drug trafficking.

None of the aforementioned statements are necessarily reflective of this author's personal views.

Drug traffickers send their drugs worldwide.

By ice I presume you mean catnip which is lethal in the wrong hands!

maybe he's secretly a homosexual and has trouble expressing it or maybe he just annoyed at his parents for callin him Lloyd

When I took suboxone i was violently ill.. i was puking for 2 days straight.. my doctor tried to lower my dose then raise my dose.. nothing worked.. nomatter what i threw up constantly.. he changed it to subutex and i still puked.. i dont know what will work for me.

Goodness knows. Whatever the quack that sold it put in there. Take a multivitamin every morning with breakfast and forget the other stuff.

Yes. People can become addicted to inflicting injury to oneself. I believe it too is considered a mental condition called Munchausen's syndrome. This is psychological and behavioral condition in which somebody makes up or induces symptoms of illness in themselves.

mETHADONE AND sUBOXONE ARE 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DRUGS. tHE ONLY SIMILARITY IS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BOTH OPIATE BLOCKERS. SUBOXONE IS A COMBO OF NALAXONE AND BUPRINORPHINE AND METHADONE IS,WELL, METHADONE.

mETHADONE WILL GET YOU VERY HIGH AND IN MY OPINION LEADS TO USING OTHER DRUGS IN COMBINATION WITH IT. AFTER TAKING SUBOXONE FOR A WEEK YOU WILL NOT GET A BUZZ OFF OF IT ANYMORE AND YOU ARE OPEN TO HAVING A NORMAL LIFE AGAIN WITHOUT THE CONSTANT CRAVINGS FOR OTHER DRUGS. METHADONE IS JUST AN EASY SUBSTITUTE FOR HEROIN OR OTHER STRONG OPIATES. YOU GET JUST AS HIGH, IF NOT MORE SO AND YOU STILL CANNOT FUNCTION AND HAVE A REGULAR AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE THAT THE SUBOXONE PROVIDES.

A "kleptomaniac" is person addicted to stealing, who has no financial motive for stealing (in other words, he or she is not in desperate financial need), but who has an irresistible urge to steal.

Basically anything other then opiate pain killers and benzodiazepines. If you try mixing other opiates with Suboxone, then your body will enter immediate painful withdraws.. not to fun! if you also try mixing benzos with Suboxone, then there's a huge chance of you overdosing or going into respiratory depression. DON'T TRY IT!

The American Medical Association declared Alcoholism to be a disease in 1953.

A disease is a pathological condition of a part, organ, or system of an organism resulting from various causes, such as infection, genetic defect, or environmental stress, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs or symptoms.

Addiction qualifies perfectly.

Suboxone(Bupenorphine/Naloxone has different effects on different people but it definitly does not block the effect weed gives you. If anything combining the two gets you Loaded so be careful!!

Your doctor probably weaned you off the Methadone too fast before switching you over to Suboxone. Methadone takes a LONG time to withdrawal from. I would definitely tell your doctor that you're still feeling withdrawals from the Methadone so he can help you.

Hope you feel better.

An addict craves what they are addicted to. A true addiction entails craving so intense that they would take the drug over food. They are often depressed, have anxiety, mood disorders, a whole calamity of mental condition that may be a result of or a contributor to their addiction.

IownaDragon's reply:

It would matter how addicted you are. Some would focus only on the drug to a point that you need more and more to feel what you had felt before.

No, family intervention is not only a good idea, it is fundamental to help somebody to overcome addictions. Numerous studies have proven that having support from family and friends is key, not only to fight addictions, but also to prevent the addict from falling back into his/her addiction..

Family intervention is not only a good idea for those who have addictions, in some cases it is necessary for sucess. The family must first be willing to accept some responsability, be it past actions, enabling, or abuse. This is often the hardest part for a family to do.

ANY substance that is being abused can be an addiction.

I would figure that, that person will still get what was left to him no matter what his condition is. On the other hand I'm pretty sure you can try and take him/her to court and try to do something about it. You can bring anyone to court over anything and win nowadays.

Eventually it will do severe damage internally and may well end up killing you. Read the label: when it says "do not take internally," there is a reason. It's not just because they want you to miss out on some fun. At the very least, eating or sniffing cleanser can cause breathing problems, nausea, and vomiting.

It depends on the person and their mental abilities. Where as intelligence is how well you learn, being smart refers to how much you know. With that in mind, the more you learn, the smarter you get, so the older you are the smarter you get. When you are old and may suffer memory problems, the knowledge is usually still there you just are having difficulty retrieving it. So generally, the older the smarter!
