Question by EVgirl: Do you have an IUD and horrible discharge from tongue or metal taste?
I have an IUD and recently have been getting an awful taste/discharge from my tongue. It somewhat has a metal taste to it, is constant, and is very similar to what happens when you detox from fasting. I was reading a forum the other day about IUD problems and a couple people had this same “symptom”. Anyone else have this?

Answer by ChickRN 4 Choice
I have never experienced this, nor have I ever heard of this- and I hear a lot of IUD stories. You may want to consult your doctor.

Question by Sick kstarnt: What’s the worst habit to kick (drugs)?
I guess this is a 2 part question…what is the hardest/most dangerous to kick/what has the worst withdrawl.

I know the obvious answer people would go with is heroin but after watching a documentary, I feel like it’s alcohol. This guy was drinking up to 3 pints of vodka daily. They did a backround on him and told his story whatever and he really seemed like a nice guy. After getting tests to see how bad the damage was, he agreed to go to a 90 day program. They made it seem all good and promising, but the whole thing ended with them saying “He died 17 days into detox”.

This is my opinion:
Most dangerous to kick: alcohol>benzodiazepines>opiates>crack and all the others

Worst withdrawl: opiates>alcohol>crack>benzos and all the others

What are your opinions?
