Perscription Pills and How to Know if Ur Addicted?
Question by Pink Chickita: perscription pills and how to know if ur addicted?
it all started from just taking them randomly at parties becaus i dont drink and i felt like the odd one out by not being messed up…also ive always been very self concious of my weight and not to long ago i realized i was getting fatter…i started eating really healthy and working out like crazy and i would take a pill of some kind to make me not hungry and to not eat excess calories…i only took a pill after my workout after work and that way i wouldnt eat again for the rest of the night to maybe help me lose weight…
im not addicted to them yet but ive been getting them like every other day sometimes every day when i get out of work..( but i can go days without the drug and dont feel like i NEED it) i dont think about them all the time but i use them when i want to relax.. i do not believe that a detox or any type of rehab will be nessesary because its not even close to that point yet..i am just noticing this addictive behavior in myself before it gets out of control…i have a family history of drug abuse and even suicides from drug abuse in my family…im not really sure how to stop “cold turkey” my bf also does them with me and he used to be addicted to heroin before i met him.. i do not want him to fall down the same path and ruin our relationship that is so strong…i would like to know how to help us both (he also doesnt think he has a problem) i would like to maybe wein myself off of it by smoking weed (been a pot head for years) i figured maybe that would help considering it gives you the same type of high feeling.( but would cause anxiety for weight gain hunger) ..if anyone knows how i can talk to my bf about both of us quitting and not turning back…i hope you can help me..thanks for the help in advance

Opinion on Suboxone Therapy?
Question by Taunya and Justin: Opinion on Suboxone therapy?
I have been addicted to opiates (pills only) for a little over 3 years on and off. Got clean by tapering down in May and just relapsed again with a kidney stone and surgery 8 weeks ago. My doctor finally said Suboxone was perfect for me. I didn’t take the Percocet and Lortab illegally or in high quantities, but the withdrawals from trying it cold turkey were too much to stand. Does anyone have an opinion? Also, I have taken Zoloft and Lorazepam for years now for depression and generalized Anxiety Disorder with occasional panic attacks. All of the information I have read says it is very dangerous to mix these with the Suboxone. Yet my doctor AND the pharmacist (who might I add has also been clean from Heroin for 15 years , YEAH!!) said it is fine as long as I don’t abuse the medicines and take more than I am prescribed. My tolerance apparently to the lorazepam is high enough to where the suboxone might make me a little drowsy, but that’s all. Just wanting some honest advice….Thanks, God Bless All~
Can the person and /or people who have answered negatively about the suboxone give me some contact information so I can talk to you? Just a plain email, nothing personal. I just am soooo super confused. I’ve taken it for 2 days and like you mentioned it works great except for the mood swings it causes. I have NEVER heard about this being so dangerous. Please please contact me….

How Did the Saying “Cold Turkey” Come About?
Question by deep blue: How did the saying “cold turkey” come about?
It’s just a strange thing to say.

It sounds just as stupid!

Answer by Tommy
The term has been around for ages it seems. “Let’s talk turkey” probably stems from the turkey gobble sounds themselves. And some say “cold turkey” was next.
Some think “cold turkey” came about because of the comparison between drug withdrawal and the dead bird.
Cold and wet skin with big goose bumps. (See we get your bird in too!)
If no one knew it before, John Lennon made “Cold Turkey” famous in 1969 as the title of his song about his own withdrawal from a short term addiction to heroin.
