Question by Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez: About heroin and heroin withdrawal?
First of all all that I want it’s information about the thing that I’m asking about and not your personal opinions about what I’m doing.

I want to start doing Heroin, only pure heroin of course, and since I don’t want to damage my veins I’ll snort it through my nose.

Since I don’t have too much money and I also have a job I don’t want to do Heroin all the day or daily. I want to take it maybe one to four times per day and also not a very big amount. A moderated one.

I was just reading on a site about the withdrawal symptoms of Heroin and it was saying :

Question by mary k: Does “piece” mean “pipe”? If my son gets a txt asking “do u have a piece we can use” it means pipe, right?
I’m sure he’s selling and maybe using, too. Txts every day asking if he has methadone, kush, adderall…he denies it, of course. I can’t prove anything but obviously there is a connection somewhere. Also can someone tell me if this msg means anything: Ham and eggs are on the way. I hope you have your griddles ready. Is it hash?
Thanks, everyone. My son has a new phone number & I have his old phone, which is how I see these messages. When confronted, he told us he sold pills once. He said he wouldn’t do it anymore (he’s 18 and not at home, and we help support him while he is in school) but obviously he is lying. The people who call haven’t gotten word that he has a new number, but it’s been 2 months now…maybe they think he still sells but he really doesn’t (a possibility, but I know it just sounds like denial on my part.) Except that the text about a “piece” was from his roommate, so there goes that theory. His dad thinks there’s not much we can do unless we babysit him 24/7. We will probably have to cut him off financially, but if he’s dealing and has a job, it probably won’t have much impact, except to have bad feelings toward us.In the talk we had with him, we asked about it & wanted to believe, but the next talk will be telling him we know he’s lying & deal with it from there. It’s hell. So much worry.

Question by firedragon729: Paxil withdrawal….How long does it Last!!??
iv’e been on a 40 mg. dose of paxil for the past 6 months. on my last bottle before the precription ran out it felt like it wasn’t working as well as it was at first, so when i ran out I thought it was time to quit, & the widrawal symptoms wouldnt be that bad but it’s been a week since i’ve been off it and i feel worse than I did before I started taking it, i can’t get to sleep at all despite how tired i am and my mind races all night, i usually never get headaches but now my head pounds, and i feel like i have the flu. i cant think straight, feel lightheaded all the time, zapping and whoosing sensations, bad panic attacks, fear like ive never felt before, almost thought i was dying the other night. i sometimes feel like im out of my body. i did manage to get an hour of sleep the past 2 nights and had the craziest, disturbing dreams ever. i shouldnt have gone cold turkey. how long does it last before u feel sane again? this is hell and i will be going back on it if they dont subside.
I wan’t to thank everyone who responded, your info. was very helpful and opened my eyes about the truth of the drug. another week has gone by and i am feeling significantly better, but still a few symptoms every now and then, still feel like i have a mild hangover and the flu-like symptoms are subsiding. but nothing like last week which was nothing less than the pit of hell (not an understatement). even though i felt good when i was on paxil, it was like putting on a mask and i didnt even realize it. now that im off it I can feel my old self coming back…i am aware that the depression may/will return and if it does i wont go back on any precription drug, counceling and st. johns wort may be the key, but not drugs. I know many ppl need precription drugs to keep alive, and I know that many of them are safe and have a good rep. but there are many of them out there, like paxil, that u have to be careful of or better yet, steer clear of. thank you all again for your help, i appreciated it.

Question by eveofthefuture: How can we use anthropology in order to understand “substance abuse” and/or addiction?
Up until now, rehab programs have not been very successful. In your own words, give me some examples where anthropology and sociology can be applied and used in regards to developing a rehab program maybe more adapted to addicts.
xx machina: True, it was extremely important to anthropologists up until recently. Things have changed. With the emergence of what we call in France “Le devoir d’Ingerence,” post- post- modernist theories and more, the idea of objectivity and subjectivity have definitely transformed. New branches of anthropology are actually born with the desire to change the world, therefore, to judge and speak out (applied anthropology is a good example). You will find more and more applied anthropologists working in health organizations, developing health programs with just that “an anthropological approach.” Many medical, cultural, symbolic, urban anthropologists anthropologists have been writing on a social phenomenon called addiction. It would make sense to apply these findings in the benefit (not necessarily judge as you point out) of addicts.
Thank you Dek and Glo.
