suboxone

Avatar f tn My friend was scheduled for hernia surgery today, but it was canceled because he used methamphetamine two days ago. What are the risks of interaction between methamphetamine and anesthesia and how long should he abstain before it's safe to have surgery?
Avatar n tn After threatening to throw them out of the condo and cut off all funds, they told me they had quit. They slept for days and were very depressed. Now everyone is happy again - my son actually acts euphoric. However, he has not looked for a job yet. The girl says she is pregnant. I am going crazy. I cannot continue to support them and my son knows this.
Avatar m tn Please note that the PK profile of methamphetamine was based on the available prescription strength methamphetamine, which is a pure form of methamphetamine that is produced in a safe, sterile and regulated environment. Prescription methamphetamine would not contain additional additives and adulterants that crystal methamphetamine may possess. For more information about prescription methamphetamine, please refer to its product labeling.
Avatar m tn i do not know if you are still trying to stop with an aide but my frind has tried with adderall and suboxone or whatever it is called and this ruined his ability to get a high while on it which is a good thing and did help him to stop mostly even when he relapsed but he was pissed he didnt get high b ut that was the point to stop and i dont know if that helps.
Avatar n tn so glad you posted. i have been off meth for about 3 or 4 yers now, but now i am withdrawing from vicodin/oxys..the amino acid protocol i believe is working very well. I 'm on day three and i really don't feel that bad, i slept the first 2 days mostly, now i'm up and doing a few things. saw my psychitrist and told her what was going on and she gav me a couple of meds -clonodine and bentyl- haven't used the bentyl yet..yes it does suck bad, but the alternative is worse.
2125174 tn?1339238689 Due to its high potential for abuse, methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule II drug and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled. Although methamphetamine can be prescribed by a doctor, its medical uses are limited, and the doses that are prescribed are much lower than those typically abused.
Avatar n tn This friend has previously been an occasional user of methamphetamine, and has not smoked since since the accident. He wants to do it once, but is trying to find out what the effects are (if any) of methamphetamine on healing bones. Any information you can share would be helpful. Cheers!
Avatar n tn Ye of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues reported on a laboratory study looking at whether methamphetamine inhibits innate immunity in host cells, thereby facilitating HCV replication in human hepatocytes (liver cells). Results • Methamphetamine inhibited natural intracellular interferon alpha expression in human hepatocytes, which was associated with increased HCV replication.

3433054 tn?1397115108 The predominance of these demographics, the researchers claim, can help doctors identify methamphetamine use among pregnant women and help circumvent morbid maternal and neonatal outcomes. Sometimes the physical characteristics of methamphetamine abuse—such as "meth mouth," low weight, and skin sores—can indicate a methamphetamine-abusing patient to a health physician.
Avatar f tn After reading this I went back and read your other post. When you talk about Meth are your referring to Methamphetamine or Methadone? Because the "voices" you hear and the turning off of the light so no one can see you seems like you would be talking about methamphetamine. If that's so, you may want to seek professional help. I grew up with many friends on methamphetamine who started hearing voices while on meth and they continued even after quitting.
Avatar m tn i am not prescribed methamphetamine. while yes methamphetamine is highly addictive and highly abused. IT CAN BE PRESCRIBED FOR ADHD AND WEIGHTLOSS. Meth is a schedule 2 drug which means that it has a HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE but HAS MEDICAL USES. I dont believe it is used much at all but it is out there under the brand name of DESOXYN. i was curious if anyone out there was taking it. cocaine is schedule 2 as well. They can be prescribed.
Avatar f tn I know amphetamine is the metabolite of methamphetamine, when you ingest meth, you have both methamphetamine and amphetamine in your urine, hair, or nails. I am about to lose my children over this and I swear I am not a user of methamphetamine. I know meth can be transferred through skin contact, is it possible contact with my husband after he uses such as laying with him, touching his clothes, kissing him, etc can make me fail the sensitive drug tests??
Avatar f tn I am not familiar about with tics, but I can say that Adderall is amphetamine and is a cousin of methamphetamine whereas Desoxyn is methamphetamine. Maybe this is a drug that you could research thoroughly and might help him out. Best of luck with your son and his and your families recovery.
Avatar n tn Sal, thanks for the info, I would like to see something like that for methamphetamine addicts I see so very many people struggle and lose that battle it holds a special place in my heart as it is also my battle and doc. So why would someone who is an opiate addict take suboxone it this implant is available ?
Avatar m tn Good link here on straterra - http://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds/Strattera Basically it is an antidepressant. Has no stimulants in it. Thus I would think that it should pose no problem with urine or hair tests - unless, they are screening for antidepressants.
Avatar n tn especially methamphetamine. Concentrations of methamphetamine in semen can be so high that if a person were to ingest the semen they could actually become intoxicated.
Avatar n tn Hi, How are you? Methamphetamine affects the brain and can create feelings of pleasure, increase energy and elevate mood. However, it can lead to adverse effects such as irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure and a variety of psychological problems as well as may interact with other medications including chemotherapeutic agents. How bad it could get depends on a variety of factors including the diagnosis, medical history, the amount of meth used as well as overall health.
1310633 tn?1430224091 David Groover, 43, was arrested Friday after deputies searched his St. Cloud, Florida home, uncovering methamphetamine, marijuana, GHB and drug paraphernalia, according to an Osceola County Sheriff's office statement. The principal at Partin Settlement Elementary School allegedly provided an undercover agent with drugs, including methamphetamine, authorities said. He was charged with possession and delivery of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Avatar m tn Strattera does not have methamphetamine, and thus works in a different way. Although if you do really have ADHD, the methamphetamine will affect you very differently than a normal person (it will actually slow you down). Only real way to find out if you have OCD is to see a good psyc. Probably would be a good idea just so you find out how to deal with ADHD besides self medicating . There is an OCD forum on this site that should also prove helpful.
Avatar m tn Surrender, and go to the nearest ER and spill your guts! You want help or you wouldn't have posted. I've been addicted or dependent for various reasons since 1979 and just want my life back sounds like you do too. How to lose weight is not appropriate for this forum or are you really asking how to stop using? I pray you make the right choices and act NOW. Be well.

Avatar f tn I've been intravenously using methamphetamine on a daily basis for over a year now. I am currently shooting about 1 to 1.5 grams a days. I am to have oral surgery to remove my wisdom teeth in at 9 am tomorrow and I used a little less than .5 grams at 10am today. Is 23-24 hrs enough of a time lapse between using and the surgery. I have a high metabolism, am 31 years old, a male and grew up taking ritalin(methylphenidate) until I was about 16. I've used meth on and off since that age.
