Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Question by Elizabeth Pollard: Should I stay or should I go?
My boyfriend is a recovering drug addict, & is currently going to a Methadone Clinic, (which I understand is no better that getting it from the streets, he doesn’t seem to think that though). I love this boy to death, we have been dating for nearly 3 years now. He was going to the “clinic” when I first met him, & was kicked out because he kept failing drug tests & coming up positive for marijuana. The second time he went to the clinic, he had to quit cold-turkey because he lost his job & we were on the verge of getting evicted from our apartment. And now, the 3rd time at his clinic, nothing seems to be any better. As a matter of fact, I believe it is worse. He just lost his job, AGAIN, & yet still refuses to quit going & steals money from me so that he can go. He says if he quits going now it will put him into some serious withdrawals. I believe he said he is at 120mg. Anyways, the methadone does some crazy stuff to him, he falls asleep in the middle of talking, smoking, even while sitting at a red-light while driving. I’ve informed the clinic of his behavior & they say he should def not be acting like that, but its been like this for on ongoing 3-4 months now. I’m sick of it all, I LOVE this boy, I really do, when he was away from the methadone clinic & pills he was the most amazing guy in the world, but now i’m just not so sure of him anymore. I don’t want to leave him, but he has it engraved in his head that the methadone clinic is the only answer for him. I’ve told him how i feel about this place, to me they are nothing but legal drug dealers just tryin to make there money. Should I just leave him to do his drugs, because obviously me asking him & trying to help him to stop isn’t working, or should I keep trying to help him & stay with him???

Question by cinamongrl4213: Detoxing 1& 1/2 month from Buprenex shot. Need stronger meds without Opiate. Ultram don’t work!!?
I have recently gotten off my Buprenex shots maintnece I’ve been for 2 & 1/2 years. I stopped cold turkey and it has been a month and half and I am still in so much discomfort and pain!! I have gotten off methadone, Heroin, but this has been the worst pain and discomfort I ever felt.!! My boyfriend is a non-addict. He cannot relate my physical pain and discomfort. . First I tried over the counter, Tylenol arthritis, Ibuprofin, Tylenol sleep etc. He don’t want me even to take these. He think I will get “addicted”. Now after endless argument that I need more stronger prescribed meds. I told it will will non-narcotic and I got Ultram & he sees Narc., he flips!. It does not work, and he still tells me I am abusing it!! I am not taking Opiate meds, there is a difference!!. I need answers for him on difference from Percocet or Dorvocet. I know all to well, but to him I am my “own pharmacy”!! The pain is so bad sometimes I want to sleep & never wake up!! Thanks!!
