Question by Victoria aka. seductive animal: Methadone Addiction Symptoms?
[rewrite]I think a friend of mine is addicted to methadone…..what are the symptoms?
[/rewrite]
Best answer:
[rewrite]
Answer by opester
Basically the same as those for heroin addiction however methadone does not create the high that is experienced with heroin. Someone being treated for heroin addiction via methadone maintenance will most certainly experience withdrawal symptoms if they attempt to stop use abruptly. Methadone addiction, when it is prescribed for pain management, can occur and symptoms would most likely be a need and desire to take increasing amounts of the drug over time, diminished effectiveness of pain control at the prescribed dose and the withdrawal syndrome upon cessation of use that is characteristic of the opiates.
I Have Now Been ‘pot’ Free for 3 Months, When Am I Supposed to Feel Better?
Question by Josh: I have now been ‘pot’ free for 3 months, when am i supposed to feel better?
[rewrite]I have been an avid marijuana smoker for most of my later teens, a daily smoker through my 20’s and toned it down (probably half) through age 35. I first started for the ‘cool’ factor when i was 16. In my 20’s it was just a staple to help me with life long anxiety and depression. It always worked like a charm every time. I never lost a job for it or had any legal troubles. Nobody gave me ‘heat’ over it because they saw how much better I was with just a toke here and there. I was never a mass user, staying ripped all day long. I just toked up a bit after work to relax after work. I was never much of a drinker. As I got older I was able to piece many of the benefits it gave to me.
