Chocolate?
Question by Moth B: Chocolate?
Does chocolate contain nicotine or something? Seriously… I am frightfully addicted to it. I’ve actually gone without it for one day once. I nearly went through two but i think i weakened before 48 hours. It’s pitiful. If I am without chocolate for long periods of time, I start doing cartwheels off the walls. If you have ever seen DeathNote, it’s much like Ryuk’s behavior when he hasn’t had an apple in days.
Any tips, advice, suggestions for overcoming a terrible and drastic chocolate addiction?

Chocolate, or rather cocoa, contains a series of chemicals which have an effect on the brain similar to that of marijuana. In addition, sugar is also addictive. I am a fellow chocoholic, by the way :)

Methadone or Subutex?
Question by Gilla B: Methadone or Subutex?
Which one is easier to detox from? I have heard horror stories about both of them. People say that sub is just as hard to get off of as the methadone. Most Dr’s say Sub is easier.. I am just curious. My son is on Subutex. Thanks!

Hi,
Methadone is terribly difficult to withdraw from. You would need someone to reduce the dosage very slowly (say 5mg per week for higher doses and 2mg per week when you get to the lower doses). So if say you were on 40mg of Methadone for a couple of months, you can imagine how long the taper process itself will take.
Subutex on the hand is a very strange molecule. Some people have no withdrawals at all when stopping, but a great number of people do notice withdrawals. The withdrawals from Subutex can last up to 15-20 days for the physical and acute symptoms. However the withdrawals are much milder than any other opioids.
