Addictive Behaviors

For specifics, one would have to know the behaviors in more detail. Since, however, all addictions and addictive behaviors are ultimately about the addict (selfish), it is highly unlikely that many of them would benefit children, even though a preoccupation with the children might be part of the addiction.

Probably not in the sense of an addiction that involves inducing major changes in brain chemistry, although that certainly could not be ruled out.

There are many people, however, who talk compulsively. This may be due to subconscious feelings that they will go unnoticed, that they must work to keep people's attention, or they may simply be self-centered and rather rude. Family background can also be a factor, if they come from an environment where everyone interrupted and talked over each other. That can lead to feelings that you have to keep talking -- keep the stage -- because it's hard to get it back. (The writer comes from a family like that.)

Many people use compulsive speech to cover their true feelings, believing that if they pound a false impression hard enough that the listener will not discern the truth of a matter. This is common among people who are unskilled liars.

Finally, there are a number of emotional disorders that involve compulsive speech.

If the obsession is causing you enough unhappiness that you are asking the question, you would probably be happier if you shared the burden with someone you can trust. I would suggest a clergyman, counselor, or trusted teacher rather then simply a friend. They are better-equipped to support you without feeding into your concerns or, on the other hand, dissing them.

Any obsession is a terrific burden for the person who has it, and it deserves serious consideration. It is well to seek that where it is most likely to be found.

Alcohol lowers inhibitions, and in doing so is likely to bring out all sorts of traits that were formerly repressed. A quiet girl becomes the life of the party; a self-effacing man becomes a braggart.

These sorts of things are often the reverse of what they seem. The bragger may be covering up a feeling of low self-worth, the party gal her feelings of insecurity and not fitting in. When people drink chronically, they are liable to become their own legends, in their own minds, leading to the grandiosity and ego that we associate with some of our acquaintances who drink a lot.

Tramadol is a synthetic opioid. It is not considered a controlled substance, but has the potential to become habit forming.

The term for needing increasing amounts of a drug to achieve the same effect is tolerance. Tolerance occurs when the body adapts to the drug and requires higher doses to produce the desired effects.

Any discussion might begin with the approach that drinking too much is not being a "bad person" - approach as if the person is sick and needs help.

Most drinkers always have denial of their problem, and the goal is to get them to recognize themselves as having a problem. For some, this comes easily, and others will pursue drinking into the gates of hell or death before they admit that they have a problem. Good luck.

if the adult doesnt have add or adhd and the meds are not prescibed to them it can make you shakey and sick to your stomache, it is much like a caffeine pill and is actually another form of speed

yes, it can be addictive. Take it from an actual cutting addict. Being addicted to cutting yourself can be just as much as an addiction to smoking and drugs. Drugs release chemicals which make the body feel "good" when you cut, the body will release these endorphins which soothe the body and give you a feeling of euphoria and people become addicted to the feeling.

Individuals react to drugs in somewhat different ways, because no two people have exactly the same brain chemistry. Some people become depressed and moody when they use cannabis or other THC-based drugs.

A more interesting question is, what is it about turning your brain off that you find attractive?

The pill with the imprint K56 is Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride 10 mg, a muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasms. The pill imprinted with 44 352 is Aspirin 325 mg, a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory medication.

Unlike Methadone, Suboxone (buphrenorphine) calms the craving for opiates without getting the individual high. That makes it extremely effective in substitution therapy for getting individuals off drugs without the accompanying physical discomfort of withdrawal -- which is horrible -- while minimizing the liklihood of abuse.

It should not be used long-term, however. Recent research has shown it to be very effective when combined with psychotherapy and other supports over periods of about three months, after which it is discontinued.

We must remember that Suboxone does not remove the addiction. It merely makes it possible to live with while remaining relatively uninmpaired. Eventually it must be tapered off and discontinued if full recovery is to be achieved.

Mixing Prozac with alcohol like whiskey can increase drowsiness and dizziness. Combining Prozac with Hydroxycut, a weight loss supplement containing stimulants, can lead to an increased risk of side effects like jitteriness, elevated heart rate, and high blood pressure. It's important to avoid mixing these substances and consult with a healthcare provider for proper guidance.

Poor posture or a badly designed chair can cause neck and back pain, muscle strain, and discomfort. Over time, it can lead to chronic issues like spine misalignment, stiffness, and decreased mobility. It is important to maintain good posture and use ergonomic furniture to prevent these problems.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid. Its primary use is in drug addiction rehab, for detox and maintenance. It is also used to treat pain, most often chronic pain.

Methadone affects the body in ways similar to morphine. It attaches to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal column and peripheral tissues and organs to attenuate pain, and provide relief of anxiety, and also has sedative properties. For some it can cause nausea and/or vomiting, sweating, drowsiness - all the same side effects of morphine.

Methadone is reported to have certain effects on the heart, primarily to do with heart rate, arrythmia, or prolonging the QT interval. These effects are more common when too high a dose is prescribed or when moving to a significantly higher dose. For those taking 80mg daily or less, this is rarely a concern.

I found the worst effects were excessive sweating and difficulty staying awake while reading or watching tv, doing anything not very stimulating.

Finally, it can be very hard to stop methadone. It gets stored in the body's tissues, and the time it takes to detox from methadone can be very prolonged, and for some has been worse than heroin. The withdrawal symptoms are less severe than heroin, but the duration is prolonged. Clinical detox is indicated.

Addiction is about mood-altering: changing the way we feel -- ultimately by changing our brain chemistry. We can do this by drugs, alcohol, physical activities, and just about any other behavior that is capable of taking us away from ourselves for a period of time. There are as many different potential addictions as there are things that will mood alter.

More useful is this catch-all description of addictive behavior: something that you keep on doing even though it is causing life-changing consequences. This applies equally well to all addictive issues.

The ingredient nicotine, which goes to the brain and makes the brain demand more of the nicotine, causing the addiction.

Pornology is not a common or widely recognized term. It may refer to the study or analysis of pornography as a field of academic or cultural inquiry. It could also potentially refer to a specific area of research within the field of sexology.

very very difficult, one would need to go to a rehab, stopping cold turkey would harm and possibly kill the person due to withdraws from such a powerful drug

*Edit from Tjeyw721: "Simply" (and I use that term loosely) withdrawing from opiates is not fatal, although you will feel like you want to kill yourself. Withdrawing cold turkey is very, VERY difficult. If you were being prescribed Oxycontin, talk to your doctor about tapering you slowly off the drug. If that isn't possible, you will want to get some sort of help (I personally recommend Suboxone, but Methadone works too, and you will need to be tapered off of these as well) to help get through the worst of your withdrawal. After that, it's a long battle, but worth it if you can make it! I havent yet, but I'm hoping one day I do. Good luck and take care!

It may be considered binge drinking if you consume a large amount of alcohol in a short period on those 2-3 days. If you find it difficult to limit your drinking on those days, it may also indicate problematic drinking behavior. It's important to monitor your alcohol consumption and seek help if you feel it's becoming a concern.

LOL im sorry it was kinda funny, but I will hide or put on high places the paper and I would have a serious talk with him/she about eating paper and how bad that is for the intestins and stomach and all digesting organs.... if he/she dosent understand that take him/her to a psychologyst if the problem has gone worst
