Question by andrew: Ibogaine and Opiates?
I need help getting off pain killers after years of just being handed script after script of about every pain killer on the market from doctors that didn’t wanna do anything for me…I became addicted…or dependent because of the everyday regular use for pain. I’ve been on them for close to 3 years and have now finally found a doctor who was willing to do MRI’s and find out what was causing this severe pain. Soon after seeing him he diagnosed with Degeneratie Disc Disease and preformed 2 failed micrdiscectomys. Here in about 2 weeks I will finally be getting my back fused. After all this is over with I would like to stop living my life from one script to the next for fear of going into withdrawal….

Question by Chloe: HELP! I feel like “using” today (I’m a recovering addict), can anyone help talk me out of it?
Is there some sort of hotline?
I’m a recovering Heroin addict. I’ve been on the Methadone program for 2 years (it was a last resort, I know a lot of people think Methadone is just a substitue but my alternative was death or jail) and I’m finally detoxing. I made the mistake of trying Heroin last week and discovered that I can get high again (Methadone usually blocks the Heroin effects (euphoria) when at a proper dose). Since then, I’ve gotten high 4 times. I want to use just one more time today! I KNOW, every addict says that. It’s all I can think about.    Read more...

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.    Read more...
