Hello Stringz44, My purpose was not to offend. I was attempting to point out that withdrawals are to be expected, that you should again consult your doctor with your symptoms and that it is potentially dangerous to use alcohol in corabination with Suboxone. If your consult results...

Hello Stringz44, Suboxone may cause withdrawal reactions if used regularly, for a long time, or in high doses. Withdrawal symptoms ( restlessness, watering eyes, runny nose, nausea, sweating, muscle aches) may occur if you suddenly stop the use of this particular medication. As a preventive...

Hello A, It is not that you enjoy the high but you are accustomed to the false "sense of security" that this particular narcotic provides to you. The worRAB in parenthesis above, namely its initials, "SOS" are something to think about. One can "enjoy" a good book or movie. To suggest that one...

Hello tiredofthebs, When dealing with relationship issues intertwined with drug use,one must proceed with caution when answering...(in my opinion) I hurably ask you to read what I have paraphrased above. 1)Will he recover? The honest truth is that no one knows for sure. 2)Is he earnestly...

Hello fishinwindow98, You state that you are noticing the urgency change. This is not necessarily a bad thing,as you have not begun to act upon it. Both you and your prescribing physician are in agreement that you require these particular meRAB, to help control your physical pain,but it seems...

The Tuscon murderer has been described as mad. Hitler was described as a mad man. The Oklahoma bomber has bed described as being crazy. Most major religions and successful cultures have the same social rules. They work. Is going against these rules a form of madness?

Hello shawslass Although I have never used heroin,I would like to offer a response. I wouldn't say it's "O.K" to use addiction as an excuse but it is legal to use it as a defense. Forgiveness and faith...now this is tough. It's about dealing with emotions,acceptance,grieving and letting...

Hello Lugar22: If he gets on board then fine but if not, you should try to save yourself; not only for you but for your children's sakes also. He may see, through your example, that it is time to "fold the drug hand that was dealt" so to speak. If not, then you will be better able to review...

Hello Yoss: It's good to hear that you are living life on life's terms and are taking things in perspective. Isn't life more interesting and enriching on this "side of the fence?" Interesting how you posted when your child is seven months (a lucky nuraber by the way) old. Stay strong...

Hello tiredofthebs: Yes,he was honest but (and with all due respect) haven't you been down this road before with him? With respect to the "craziness in his head" he may have issues that require confronting. The only thing guaranteed about making a geographical change is that he will be in a...

Hello G, One of the most deceiving things about narcotics is it provides for a false sense of security. It's this "houdini-esque" quality that will cause a person viewing a red "do not walk" signal to do the exact opposite. I was once where you find yourself now and realized what I was...

Hello pandora23 This may be a moot point but in the future,please read anything that you sign your name to carefully. Once your signature is on the dotted line and you have asked no questions,it can be assumed that you fully understand all the parameters. If you're symptoms are beginning to...

Hello corissa3 It is good to see that you are taking the bull by the horns and taking no prisoners(no pun intended). Recovering from addiction forces us to see that person in the mirror, flaws and all. Though acknowledgement of a problem is the first step,the true work begins once action is...

Hello faith, The truth is, that you are a changed person due to those circumstances that entailed the relationship you had. Without knowing the durational circumstances and emotional investment involved, there are different answers that can be offered. Without knowing specifics, I would say...

Hello nic5, From your post(first sentence), it is difficult to tell whether you detest his use or using it yourself(no disrespect intended). In all honesty, to give a complete list of signs would do more harm than good. The nature of the addiction dictates that anything I would post would be...

Reach, You realized the need to "reach in" before you could reachout and somewhere in between you were able to balance the two. Your genuine nature exudes through every thread you begin and response you post. May blessings continue to come your way. Sincererly, Phoenix

Hello A, A person can call his/her self an addict once they have come to the realization that a specified habitual action is beginning to effect everyday living. One does not necessarily have to hit "rock bottom" when erabracing recovery but the majority do so nonetheless. "Rock bottom" (in...

Hello karel: Here's a suggestion:call the psych unit and ask to speak with a supervisor. Let them know that this is extremely urgent. Explain the details if asked and remeraber to request the person's name you are speaking to. The last thing you need is for her to be released prematurely, now...

Hello 813roxy Is it selfish for you to feel like discarding the very thing he has been lying about? Is it selfish to want to protect yourself from further experiencing stressful issues that have the potential to aggravate both your anxiety and depression symptoms? Is it selfish to feel a...

Hello T, One time is all it takes for most. One may get caught up in a "fog" of sorts and develop what I call the "rip van winkle complex." The unfortunate thing is when the person "wakes up" finally, the damage has already been done; sometimes beyond repair. Although I have never used...
