Street names for heroin include “smack,” “H,” “skag,” and “junk.” Other names may refer to types of heroin produced in a specific geographical area, such as “Mexican black tar.” Heroin can be used in a variety of ways, depending on user preference and the purity of the drug. Heroin can be injected into a vein (“mainlining”), injected into a muscle, smoked in a water pipe or standard pipe, mixed in a marijuana joint or regular cigarette, inhaled as smoke through a straw, known as “chasing the dragon,” snorted as powder via the nose.

Question by nowthatsclassy: Depression with Depo Provera?
I’ve been on the Depo shot for about 4 and a half years now. I was 15 when I started using it.

For the first two years, everything seemed fine.. Just a bad headache here or there. Then winter came and I feel like a fell into a bit of a depression. Over the last 2 and a half years, I’ve noticed my vision getting weaker, headaches persisted more (probably due to vision) and my winter depression has shifted just from winter, to every single day.

It’s disgusting. Every day I wake up and just wait for the sadness to come. I know it isn’t normal to think about wanting to die every. single. day. Or at least I hope not. Usually my sad spells only last an hour or so.. Crying, hating myself, hating the world. Also, in the last month, I find myself getting suuuper pissed and digging my nails into myself or punching myself. Like wtf?????? I was never like this before?

Question by ??: Can you get “brain zaps” without being on any kind of medication?
I have been experiencing brain zaps/shocks for more than 3 weeks now. I’ve searched on Google for this issue but most of the causes has been from “withdrawal” of antidepressants, which I’m not on.

The feeling is like an electrical/shocking sounds in my head. These sensation last for less than 2 seconds, and I get them so many times throughout the day.I mostly get them when turning in bed or sometimes when I turn my head left, right, up, or down. I went to my pedatrician and he said to just take a pain reliever, which did not help…

Could this be from anxiety? I say this because I have also been suffering from palpitations for years..and will be getting my overall anxiety treated soon by psychologist.
