Answer by Nik
No offense, but every time someone abuses suboxone they make it a little bit harder to obtain for the people who actually need it. Don’t allow yourself to become physically addicted to it because the withdrawals last 12 very long days where you will be in absolute agony. look up “opiate withdrawal symptoms” if you want to see what that would be like. I promise you don’t want that, right around the 6th day when you think it’s about to get better it starts to get worse and worse.

Question by There you are?: Zoloft- fight and cause Anxiety both?
How is it that Zoloft a serotonin uptake inhibitor, can be used to fight Anxiety disorders by keeping more serotonin available- while at the same time, one of the possible side effects of it, is Anxiety?

I looked up the possible side effects, and Anxiety is a side effect.

WHILE AT THE SAME TIME this same medication is used to treat various Anxiety disorders.

Ok- what gives? Does it help with Anxiety or cause Anxiety?

It’s illogical for a drug to function in the same manner and have two completely different outcomes.

I am obviously missing some information- there is a component to this function that has been generalized out of the online information that is most easily found.

Question by Anders: What’s the word for when you get symptoms / cravings after quitting a drug?
For a piece I’m writing but the word has completely escaped me. It isn’t regression, or craving, but it’s something like that… like “Heroin ____” or “crack ____” (the space being where the word should be). As far as I’m aware it’s when you either come off an addictive drug and have severe cravings / bad symptoms of quitting.
It’s also the reason some newborns with addict mothers are given doses of drugs to wean them off. I remember being told in Science classes years ago but I can’t remember it at all. Any ideas?

It’s called withdrawal.
Withdrawal happens when you’ve quit a drug and now you’re feeling the symptoms of it.

Question by MomOf2: Suggestions from recovery alcoholics and spouses of alcoholics?
My husband is a recovering alcoholic of alomst 6 months now. \he’s not the type of alcoholic to drink everyday, he’s a benge drinker. This is the first time that he has been sober this long. Last summer I left him the last time he did it and he moved out of state and I stayed here with our daughter and eventually moved on. As time went by he begged me and begged me to come back to him but I just couldn’t. I didn’t want to live my life like that. Eventually about 6-7 months later he decided to come back here and see our daughter and talked me into bing with him. The last 6 months has been amazing and he is a totally changed person just these past 6 months. He’s never been like this and he did it all on his own, not AA, couseling, nothing. The only thing he did was his doctor put him on celexa to cope with his depression in which he takes one a day and says that it has been helping him. I do love him very much and want things to work and for him to stay sober, but the ratio of alcoholics staying sober is very low. I’m just scared, I love him but can’t do it again if he messes up. Can anybody relate, what can I do?? What about some suggestions from other alcoholics??
