I Asked About Addiction Medications a Little Bit Ago. Just Found the Names of the Ones I Was Talking About.?
Question by 42: I asked about addiction medications a little bit ago. Just found the names of the ones I was talking about.?
Neltrexone and Compro. Does anyone have experience with these?
Best answer:
Answer by Scott O
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist. Naltrexone blocks the effects of narcotic drugs and alcohol. Naltrexone blocks the “high” that is achieved by use of these substances
Naltrexone is used in the treatment of narcotic drug or alcohol addiction..
As a Paramedic we gave narcan when we suspected drug overdose of narcotics and opoids.
Before taking naltrexone, talk to your doctor if you
have used alcohol or a narcotic drug within the past 7-10 days;
have drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms;
have kidney disease; or
have liver disease.
You may not be able to take naltrexone, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment.
Please! Important Question About Amphetamine Abuse! Also, Focalin XR 30mg Overdose Question?
Question by dslkfsdhf: Please! Important question about amphetamine abuse! Also, Focalin XR 30mg Overdose question?
I have had many issues with pill addiction in the past, stopped for 2 years but started again a couple months ago.
Since coming to university it started with 40mg of vyvanse a couple times a week to study but now it’s like week long binges of vyvanse, focalin, concerta, and some others, including methadone which is new for me, but ever since I snorted that I cannot stop thinking about it, it’s gotten to the point where I ask my dealer for it everyday and don’t even realize
Which is my first concern because when I was 14-16 I used to have problems with pills and alcohol and ruined a lot of things/relationships in my life, now I’m 18, failing all my classes because I haven’t been to class in the last month, spending my days just trying to find anyway possible to get high.
The thing I’m worried about is when I come down or am sober I get so depressed I cry for hours, have mental breakdowns/panic attacks, and seriously want to die.
I would never be one to say I have a problem but it’s really scaring me now, any advice or similar experiances?
