Tempted by Prescription Drugs?

Question by korkykrayon: tempted by prescription drugs?
I’ve really been scaring myself lately. I find myself increasingly anxious and depressed, mostly at night when there is nothing to do, and it’s at this time, when I’m lying in bed or surfing the web that my mind drifts to drugs. I keep thinking about taking the prescription drugs that I know are in my house just out of curiosity. I’ve never even smoked weed so I have no history of being drug-curious, but for some reason, the allure is there. During the day, I think about what was going through my head the night before and almost laugh at the stupidity of it, but then that night, it happens all over again. Anyone heard of exhibiting the psychological signs of addiction without having taken the drug? Anyway. My main question is: what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about these drugs, and how can I stop? And I should mention that I can’t really throw the drugs out because they belong to my parents; they’d probably notice and assume I was doing them anyway. (Irony, anybody?)
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in my life.”
Big fan of that show. And thanks for the response.

Why American Celebrities Mostly Abuse Marijuana, Cocaine and Prescription Drugs?

Question by Moon M: Why American celebrities mostly abuse marijuana, cocaine and prescription drugs?
Why don’t they abuse Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, Ecstacy or other psycho-stimulants?

Best answer:

Answer by King Halo
Marijuana: because there has been no conclusive study to prove that it has ever harmed anyone ever.
Cocaine: Considered “the drug of the rich” and celebrities.
Prescription drugs: Those are usually “the best”, and the reason more people don’t do them is because most people don’t have celebrity money or hookups to procure any kind of easily abused prescription drug.
Amphetamines, Ketamine, X, Roofies, LSD, Acid, PCP, and Crack are more street drugs than the drugs to be done by a celebrity, and what does a celebrity have if not his/her reputation?

Answer by Dylan B
OMFG i dunno but i wanna join!

Answer by Rickydotcom
In the U.S. this type of school is generally licensed and regulated by the state. The facility where I work has college-educated, licensed counselors. Program curriculum is setby each state but most use ASAM Patient Placement Criteria as a basis for their programs. Maryland has two different DWI/DUI programs, a 3 hr alcohol education course and a 12 hr DUI course. Each program is approved by the MVA and the state Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration. The educators/counselors must be state-certified.

Answer by busylady0615
well, it depends on what it is. if it is a painkiller (probably, those are the most addictive) then you should go to your dr. let them know and they can help you safely stop taking the drug without severe withdrawl syptoms. also, they can make sure you never get it or it’s relatives again to renew your problem.
i know it seems scary to never have it again, but if you really want help then do it!
