Avatar n tn s violating the law... Drug addiction is not the same as mentally incompetent. being declared mentally incompetent is a long process and it requires a guardian being appointed for that person. a power of attorney does not work for mental health purposes. trust me, i know.. is this person otherwise mentally ill? or is the addiction just so out of control?
424839 tn?1268186246 The way I understand it, Drug Addiction is a "disability" and therefor treatment for it cannot be denied as a preexisting condition. When my son contacted the Insurance Company and asked them about it, they told him that his company had this one year exemption... I don't get it at all but I am not good at reading these laws or interpreting them and we certainly can't afford a lawyer- not with all his treatment expenses.

Half the problem with this drug is that it includes chemicals which act on the same brain receptors as an anti-depressant. I started a very small dose of Paroxetine (12.5mg) a month before I'm now at 50mg or even no opiates in a day.

Avatar m tn Honey, you are so young, with your whole life ahead of you.

I think you should absolutely go to your doctor and get the best help available to you. And keep posting here for additional support. Asides: Newzor, not all "hippies" are happy drug users - or drug users at all.
Avatar m tn , the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which President Obama signed on March 23, 2010, authorized the Food and Drug Administration to approve generic versions of biologic drugs and grant biologics manufacturers 12 years of exclusive use before generics can be developed. Some else may have heard a rumor as to cost of new DAA meds. All new drugs will probably be rather expensive so either a trial or insurance will be needed to pay for the meds. Cheers!

Avatar f tn Jeri, first and foremost, I want you to know how very sorry I am about the loss of your daughter, there truly are no words that can describe the death of a child, and the pain that never really heals. Our oldest daughter died of cancer, it was and is devasting, you can't bury your daughter and not bury a portion of your heart. The "circle of life" is not suppose to work that way.

Avatar m tn Addiction is categorzied by maladaptive behavior that is typically out of character for the person, including doing things that are harmful, without any regard for the consequences, in order to get the drug. Addiction includes mental cravings for the meds, where dependency is almost always just physical in nature. It's important for you to determine which category you would fit into, if indeed this is even a concern for you.
Avatar n tn It was given out like aspirin. It is very unfortunate that it became a schedule one drug, with the drug enforcement administration tracking down phjysicians who prescribe it. Valium does degrade situational awareness as well as intellectual acuity, and may interfere with driving safety, although that is more of a problem for the first time user. I have used it (prescribed by a physician) rarely, when under extreme stress, and then only for a day or two, and never became addicted.
