Since you pee every doctor appointment did they not bring up heroin or opiates in your system during pregnancy? I was on opiates during my pregnancy and I know it has been in my pee but I've been clean during this last trimester so I was wondering if they still take the baby from something that was in your system BEFORE even if it's not now..
My name is Melissa I'll be 29 in may I have 4 beautiful .babies 4 boys that are 10 and 5 and 2 girls that are 8 and 6. I love them with all my heart they are.my live but I've been addicted to meth for almost 11 yrs. now and when I get tired of fighting it seems I'm hardly making any progress at all. I fall back into the slump sometimes a little further than I was the. First time but I refuse to let it win but here is my issue I really believe for me to fight it head on and win 100% committed to...
I was wondering if you've had your baby yet and if he/she's okay? Please help! My situation is identical to yours and I'm scared they're going to take my son when he comes. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
These young girls being pregnant and on drugs when is it going to stop? I watched Dr. Phil today and seeing these babies shacking and birth defects is very sad.
Bring them to the emergency room immediately!! You seriously even had to ask that question?
Horribly addictive as opposed to what? Can something be pleasantly addictive? First off it's the individual that gets addicted to the feelings the drug gives not the drug addicting people. Whether a drug is horribly addictive or not depends entirely on an individual's affinity for it. I understand that a person can become physically dependent on methadone (I am) but if we are seeking help via mmt then the done is not what got us dependent in the first place. Methadone did not kill you brother,...
I empathize with you. Please keep telling yourself the truth! THIS DRUG IS TOXIC THIS DRUG IS FROM HELL! DON'T EVER TAKE IT! ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. YOU LIVE WITH YOU 24/7. Nobody KNOWS WHAT YOU FEEL BUT YOU. Here is a big tip, save a couple hundred bucks (it will be very well invested). Go to a reputable pain specialist with your records in hand (or sent- sign the release papers and request them forwarded).They will NOT give you a script. But they will tell your primary what you...
Hello Nikki, I see that this post is a few years old but I wanted to ask you how this turned out for you. I too like your boyfriend went through benzo withdrawal (Xanax) 8mg/day for 9 years. What stood out in your comment was that you said he locked himself in his room and that kind of brought flashbacks to me from my own experience. I lost a lot due to the withdrawal, my girlfriend, job, etc. because nobody understood what I was going through, as if I had the flu or something. It sounded...
Hi I'm 29 male and I know I'm addicted to codeine I've been on them about a year now it's taking over my life and I have a little 5yr old boy who lives with me full time and I'm scared to tell the doctor because I don't want to lose my son! I need help but I can't go into rehabilitation because I have to look after my boy he is my world n I couldn't be away from him.
I have to admit when I'm not on the stuff I do feel better then off it and I was just wondering if it causes heart problems?
Hey hope this will help, suboxone sucks too but it's better than the harder kind of dope.....I recently signed up for the Obamacare Coventry Health Insurance, regardless of your political feelings on this, it lowered my suboxone costs from 450$ down to 65$ for 90 a month. I don't take 90 a month, but as far as my doctor is concerned I do, which alleviates the anxiety of worrying what to do if I can't afford the cash payment for my doctor one month (the insurance doesn't cover the doctor...
LISTEN TO ME, GET OFF OF OXYCONTIN NOW, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE IN FOR. I had a serious car accident broke my neck and back in 6 places, and they put me on Oxycontin to deal with the pain. I have to say the pills WORKED GREAT, and I have been on them for 7 years, just with in the past 3 months, my skin started feeling weird, my face is going numb and tingling, I have a hard time hearing, and I am very dizzy, and my entire body feels cold and dead. IT IS SPREADING WORSE ACROSS MY BODY, NOW...
