Avatar n tn The school he goes to drug screens him and it has always come back positive for PCP. No other drug screens - the criminal justice system or the hospital's test are positive for anything.

594255 tn?1219163564 I wholeheartedly agree with ibizan. Detoxing can be a very dangerous thing to attempt on one's own. We don't know the circumstances of your addiction or what else you may or may not be addicted to. In the past i have been through many detox & rehabilitation programs for various substances and although i know what meds to use and have access to them , i would never attempt to detox without proper supervision.

Because the combination of chlordiazepoxide and alcohol (ethanol) may impair your judgment and/or reflexes, it may be dangerous to drive or to perform tasks which require you to be alert after taking these together.

Avatar f tn I'm still here Hobo91. Still at 9 per day. I want to drop to 8 per day tomorrow, but I don't know if I can yet. I kinda got sick and threw up last night. And feel like total junk. I can't wait to get off this hellish drug. I think Tramadol is one of the Very Worst drugs a person can be addicted to now a days. It has to be on the Top Five (5) for the worst withdrawals. But that's just my opinion on that. How's it going with you?
Avatar n tn m Lori and one of my degrees is in counseling with a specialty in drug and alcohol abuse, my other degree is in criminal justice.
