Question by dolores df: Can addiction treatment be undertaken by pregnant women who use drugs?
Or would this cause the baby more harm? I’ve heard that the baby can get addicted to methadone if the mother takes it while the baby is inside her womb. Should the woman just stop her use of drugs and wait until the baby gets born before she seeks treatment?

Answer by caleigh lw
It’s actually advisable for pregnant women who are using drugs to undergo addiction treatment as soon as possible. If she doesn’t, her baby will be at risk for having low birthweight when delivered, and her chances for miscarriage will also be higher. It’s safe to undergo methadone treatments as well as detoxification as these are advisable for pregnant women. The baby will most likely get to experience symptoms of withdrawal afterwards, but these can also be treated. If you know someone who is pregnant and is doing drugs, get her to consult a doctor immediately.    Read more...

Question by Eclipsed: Switching to Benzos instead of these disgusting SSRI’s?
Here’s some history, I’ve been going through depression therapy for a while, jumping through hoops and taking the plethora of SSRI’s they’ve given. Like I said, I’ve been jumping through the hoops for years, taking Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro… The list goes on. I started this whole thing because of a depression issue, that I eventually discovered was caused by anxiety and my panic attacks, and it wasn’t truly depression. My doctor says SSRI’s will help reduce anxiety, but so far, I’ve gotten more depressed than I have been in years because of these SSRI’s. They make me feel like a zombie, some make me irritable, some make me just feel all around woozy and sick. All in all, I’ve not been relieved of my anxiety and they have been making my life harder and harder every morning when I pop that pill (Prozac currently). I have strong, overwhelming panic attacks due to situational anxiety and social anxiety. Before all these SSRI’s, I was prescribed .5mg Ativan to take 2-3 pills on the onset of anxiety, and that worked magnificently. Look at that, every night I could fall asleep PERFECTLY, every morning I woke up happy and motivated… Blah blah blah, Getting to the point; They helped. A LOT. And I didn’t even take them on an often basis, I took them as needed. The true anxiety relief about these pills is the psychological effect, the thought that, “I have these Benzo’s, and I’m very stressed right now. However, knowing that I have these Benzos in my pocket right now makes me feel a little more safe in my anxiety, some days I can go weeks without popping an Ativan solely for the fact that I know that I have them in my pocket. Their presence alone can reduce my low level anxiety, and when I have huge panic attacks, I have the safe guard ready to go.
Benzo’s have worked perfectly for me, and I have found a perfect balance to get the relief I need, without having the feeling of dependency on the drug. I’ve found that I do not get addicted to Benzos, and in the moderation that I take them, I am able to go days without feeling panic attacks while only taking 1 or 2 within a week. I also have discovered that in my method, when I stop taking Benzo’s, I have no withdrawal symptoms or increased anxiety. Like I said, I become less anxious just knowing I have something to save me when I need it.    Read more...

Question by † ? † T.O.P IS HOT ??: What in inhalants, marijuana, and alcohol make it addictive?
I know nicotine in tobacco makes it addictive, but what makes the drugs listed above addicting? Alcoholics and “hobos” try to get lots of alcohol. People smoke weed even though they don’t want to anymore. *Sniff sniff* Inhalants are addictive? WHY!?!!?! I learned all this in some program at school. But I didn’t feel like asking. Too much attention….

Thanks Peoples!

All of these drugs, including sleep aids, depression meds, and caffeine all are addictive because of psychological reasons, not physical ones.    Read more...
