Question by ? ? ???: Asking again because I kept getting weird answers before…?
I’m 26 weeks pregnant & I’ve been taking 3 5mg Oxycdone immediate release pills per day for exactly 3 weeks. The medication was prescibed by the nurse practitioner for a chronic pain issue that I had before my pregnancy & is being overseen by the attending high risk doctor at my OB’s office, so my doctor is aware that I’m taking this medication. They’ve been taking high precautions since I was put on this medication on April 9th (so 3 weeks ago today). I get frequent ultrasounds & I feel my baby move & she is very active. I know that Oxycodone is highly addictive, so I’m not sure if I should taper down from 3 pills to 2 a day then to 1 a day. I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t just stop taking them. I’ve been on much higher doses of Oxycodone (30mg 4-5 times a day) so I know what withdrawls can do to the body. I’m fully aware of all of the risks there are taking an opiate while pregnant, but I also agree with my doctor that the risks outweigh the benefits. Does anyone have any input without being rude? Like I said, I’m well aware of the risks & not taking the medication would put my baby at more risk than if I didn’t take the medicine.    Read more...

Drugs were a part of music culture long before rock and roll was even an embryo.  But as that embryo began growing up and experimenting with drugs, it began writing music and lyrics about them, and became closely associated with them in the public’s mind.  Sex, drugs and rock and roll—weren’t they what a musician’s life was all about?  Some rockers didn’t mince words when they wrote about drugs, while others left their lyrics open to interpretation.  Here’s a sampling of songs with lyrics describing the seductive—and destructive—power of drugs:

An obvious lyric, right?  Not quite.  Originally written and recorded by J.J. Cale in 1975, the song was hugely popularized by Eric Clapton’s cover version.  But Clapton stresses that the lyrics, “If you wanna get down, down on the ground,” are very anti-cocaine and describe its ravages.  To emphasize that point, Clapton later added the lyrics, “that dirty cocaine,” during his concerts.    Read more...
