drug

Avatar f tn I believe that illegal drug use can brin out dormant GAD. I know this from experience. I used cocaine once and that brought out my first panic attack and week of derealization. THen i was back to normal for couple months. THen one night after having couple shots of tequilla, boom anxiety symptoms appeared. It began with pressure in the head then lead to more common symptoms like being nervous, anxious, fear of dying and beeing doomed, etc.
Avatar n tn For a typical drug test (i.e. one they would use for employment or one they would use at a pain management clinic to test for illegal/improperly taken substances)...no, is the answer. there are tests that can show tramadol use, but because it's a synthetic opiate it does not show up on your typical drug test. if you have a prescription it doesn't matter either way...
Avatar f tn I have a 17-year old son who has been diagnosed with mild bipolar disorder (NOS) and we are in the process of getting blood test, EKG for his psychiatrist to prescribe Depakote. He has bought Kratom over the internet before, and my husband and I thought it was a type of tea, but later found out it's illegal in several countries ( it is legal in the US), and that it has psychoactive properties. He has been bugging us to buy him more, saying that it really helps him with sleep and anxiety.
Avatar n tn These are the same receptors that marijuana stimulates. The first few paragraphs should answer your questions. If you want more detailed info, click on the 'take course now' button at the bottom of the page http://www.ecsimpact.
Avatar m tn These negative aspects make it a potential drug. That is why there are countries which have banned this drug. In the United States, however the drug is fairly new and it is banned only in a few states. If found possession of kratom in those states, you could land in up jail for 6 months or could have to pay a fine of $500 or both. Some people categorize kratom products as a legal high drug. Legal high drugs are those which can get you high but are still not banned by FDA.
Avatar m tn Seroquel has been linked to diabetes.
Avatar m tn There is a possibility he is still having symptoms from spice, but drug use is a symptom of other issues. If he quit and nothing more, he will continue to have personality and behavior problems. Do you know anybody who is close to them that you could talk to?
Avatar f tn Here in the UK, they only do it if mother is a known drug user or if they have reason to suspect drug use.
Avatar n tn The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine. Relative levels of codeine and morphine can help determine their origin. With the new higher cutoff levels (2,000 ng/ml), Heroin use will generally only produce a positive test result for a day after single use (somewhat longer with chronic use). I hope this helps, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
Avatar m tn Could be Kratom. It is bought online, and they put "not for human consumption" on it to please the FDA and DEA. Otherwise, it would be illegal. On the sites, it sells itself by saying, "it's incense for burning" or some crap. The thing is that he's YOUR child, underage, living in your home??? I'd toss it and send him to rehab before it's too late. That may sound harsh, but you may be saving his life. This is what you actually found.
Avatar n tn After 6 months of using, there should not be significant damage yet, but there is a possibility that a small hole is being made and if so, that is why you can feel it in the other nostril, that happened to me. If you have been clean for 2 weeks, your nose has not had time to heal and it will be swollen and sore i imagine. i don't think you need to worry about your nose, it will heal after you stop unless you create that hole.
Avatar m tn Hi everyone - If you have a question about the side effects of using a drug, that's fine, but we can not allow posts that encourage illegal activity. It's also safer for you if you aren't posting on the internet that you are using illegal drugs.
Avatar f tn I am 28weeks along now and I havent smoked in a few weeks and am passing my drug tests. I am due march 30th and was just wondering if anyone knew if I am passing my drug tests then my baby is alo right? Or could it still be in my babies system also?
Avatar f tn I have seen on here where a lot of you have to take drug test at doctors visits, I have been going to pm doctor since December of 2008, and never have had a drug test. Just wondering what the deal is?
Avatar m tn I would ask you to step back for a moment and question all of the generalities you prescribe to drug use. Drug use is not an all or nothing proposition. Consider your eating of cholesterol. Cholesterol can do serious damage to your arteries and cause severe and often fatal heart disease. I presume you don't have the same reaction to people who eat cholesterol.

Lifetime heroin use among 16-to-18-year-olds fell from 2.5% to 1.8% (although there was a slight increase in marijuana use in that age group). New HIV infections in drug users fell by 17% between 1999 and 2003, and deaths related to heroin and similar drugs were cut by more than half.
Avatar m tn My sister is a recovering drug addict (IV drug use) I've looked up photos of track marks, but they all look so different. Hers look like tiny pin dots up and down the top of her arm and in between the vein looks dark. I also feel bad for her because she pulled her life together and if she is stuck with that "badge of DIShonor" for the rest of her life, I just can't think of anything worse. We both live in FL where long sleeves look stupid on anyone 358 days of the year. 1.
