addiction….Now Im on Suboxone, Any Tips?
Question by BaBaoooMowMow: addiction….Now im on suboxone, Any tips?
Hello All. I feel awful stupid doing this but here goes…. I have been a member of YA since spring or so. During this time I wrote several answers to people who were caught in the throws of addiction. The irony is that during this time i was a raging norco addict. Well today it all came to head. I burned through my meds waaaaaay too fast and I went to the doctor’s office to get more. This would be two weeks before I was due. Knowing this I decided to pull some BS and steal part of my chart with my last script so I could get more. But I was caught. I know I deserved to go to jail or at the least be kicked from my doctor’s office. But instead they sat down with me and talked about my addiction and how it can make good people do really bad things. Just to clarify I really think of myself as a pretty good person, im the father of two and have a wife of 21 years. I started taking painkillers for a herniated disk. But as summer went on I started taking more and taking them when I really didnt need pain relief. To give you an idea of the scale I would take 5 10/325 norco’s at a time and sometimes I would take as many as 7 10/325!

Question by Tallyman: Did Obama’s drug use contribute to his lack of understanding in Geography?
“I made some bad decisions … You know, got into drinking and experimenting with drugs, there was a whole stretch of time where I didn’t apply myself,” Obama confessed to the study hall class.

Doctors/Med Professionals: Should Illicit Drug Users Get Free Medical Treatment?
Question by JDA: Doctors/Med Professionals: Should illicit drug users get free medical treatment?
I want to know what the medical profession thinks. Please note, I’m from Australia (where there is universal healthcare)
I know many out in the community abuse illicit drugs because of life circumstances- they have mental issues, take heroin, wind up in prostitution to pay for it, then need the heroin to cope with the prostitution.
Or perhaps veterans who didn’t receive adequate psychological care have PTSD and then take illicit drugs to cope day to day.
Or even those whose chronic pain only responds to marijuana.
