Here's a controversial subject that brings on heated opinions among a lot of people today, do you think that parents should let their teenagers drink at home with them or at least under their watchful eye? Most parents today worry about their children binge drinking with their friends during their teenage years or when they're young adults which they should be.
Drinking with friends is a very big part of many teens social life anymore and very common among college age students under the legal age of 21. Many parents feel very strongly against letting their under aged kids drink at home with them or anywhere else and feel parents that do are being irresponsible which could lead to problem drinking later on.
Some parents believe if they let their teens drink responsibly at home under...
MDMA commonly known as Ecstasy stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin. MDMA produces intense feelings of pleasure and excitement and can lead to hyperactivity and hyperthermia.
Ecstasy addiction and use often takes place in a rave, (a underground dance event) and is used at clubs. The effects of MDMA are heightened by overcrowding, dancing and sometimes the use of other stimulant drugs.
In the days after use, 80% of ecstasy users report feelings of depression and lethargy. Users who stop ecstasy show deficits in learning, memory, have changes in appetite and mood, and experience a decrease in sexual desire, These effects are greatest in heavy users and remain long after the use of the drug has ceased. These changes may be permanent.
To all the questions about social services taking your kid....here is what happened to me unfortunately. I have been struggling with heroin for about 5 years now and when I became pregnant in April last year I was terrified and didn't know what to do. I didn't want to have a miscarriage from withdrawal so I pretty much had to keep using until I figured something else out. I moved back home and got put on Subutex and it made me feel horrible! So my only other choice was methadone. I started that...
The reason that many people turn to energy drinks in recovery is that they still haven't found a healthy coping mechanism to replace some of the elements of their addiction. Personally I joined AA and I have not drank alcohol since, but I did find my use of energy drinks and sugar, too, became quite compulsive in the early days. I still drink energy drinks, but don't have sugar at all. I looked at all the elements form energy drink use and was able to cut it down. I think a lot of...
Great work explaining Suboxone guys! I am a recovering Heroin and Cocaine addict of 4 years now and I know that I would not have made it without Suboxone.
Hello, My name is Anna. I have been going to a methadone clinic for 2 years and was recently discharged. When I first went to the clinic in December 2009 it was my last resort I was using heavily and was tired of the life. I had almost dropped out of college, started doing all kinds of stuff that i could think of to come up with money so i could get my fix for the day. Anyway after starting the clinic and getting to a stable dose I finished college got my teaching degree and started teaching...
I just found out that I am 3 moths pregnant. Due to my heroin use I had very irregular periods. I want to quit and go on methadone because I desperately want this baby. My question is will CPS get involved at this point if I go in to my Dr. And am honest about it all? I need help but I'm scared.
You have some great information, I am grateful you have decided to share it with the rest of us. Thank you.
Teens drinking at home under parental supervision is a sticky subject and I see both points of view. We were all teenagers at one point in time and I was one of those teens sneaking to parties and drinking underage. I saw so much irresponsibility as a teenager when it came to alcohol consumption from teens passing out, throwing up, sleeping with anyone and everyone, drinking and driving. My friends were partiers and I saw it all. At that time I was not even thinking of the dangers of alcohol...
I'm sorry that you are still going through horrible pain/withdrawals/insomnia I know the feeling, but to say that SUBOXONE is the devil and telling others who are looking here for help with their addiction to stay away from it is wrong. I was hooked on vikes (vicodin) first and then later moved on to Roxy's and Oxy's for most of my 20's I'm now 30. At my peak I could easily take 15-20 Oxy 80mg a day and want more, the only thing preventing me from taking more was money which...
Totally agree with your post. I live in Australia and after finding out that in the states they lock you up for possession. Made my brain spin all that time and money spent by the government locking up user's instead of the king pin's or legalizing it.Here in Australia they put you in a 3 month plan to at least educate and try to help you quit. I know every country around the world has it's own problems which won't be solved by making something illegal. And for some reason...
Nighthawk, I found the following two sites very informative when it comes to Ambien use, abuse and addiction. Hope you find these two sites helpful as I know you will find the information you are looking for. Ambien Abuse and Ambien Addiction
Hooray! Finally a decent comment. It's like everyone wants to blame the FDA and doctors for their family's addictions and I empathize as I went through it with my son stealing mine. Guess what? HEROIN people. It's been around for a long time and it's been back since our government began with the Iraq and Afghanistan WHERE IT GROWS how amazing-the timing in which it flooded the suburbs and hit our teens. Well oxy is like heroin. SO PLEASE EVERYONE go ahead and pray they just "take it away" and...
It will be over in about 4 days. He will begin to feel much better. Get him some Imodium, FLUID -Gatorade, EMERGENC powder with the bcomplex mix in with his Gatorade or better in orange juice. Look up the "Thomas recipe" online - all at home otc remedy. If u can get him to take nice hot baths with Epsom salt to help with the restless leg misery and I'd get him some Ambien and maybe Xanax or Valium because he needs to sleep. In short-it's the worst flu but with the flu, you can sleep. In...
