Avatar f tn i totally agree,illegal is illegal and anyone who uses it have def got an addictions,and like many on meds should try to seek helpand people who dont as dominosarah says its just excuses,i would just like to thank you all on a question that was asked last night and i responded to then others did in a different way to me i just thought i was being unfair when saying that pot is a drug and it is illegal,thank you all again.
799026 tn?1238317370 Pot is one that will make you feel worse rather then better the more often you use it. I have to say though that MedHelp does not condone nor will discuss the use of illegal substances as methods of therapy or for recreational use. If you are having difficulties stopping the use of drugs and/or alcohol you can always contact NAA or AA for help. We also have an area where you can discuss addictions and support while you are withdrawing from those substances.
541953 tn?1262586226 Yes and here's the catch, it's not illegal since Soma is not a controlled substance. You are allowed a 90 days supply. Some overseas pharmacies sell you as many pills as you want, some even stonger than soma. They shut down the US based pain pill sites, I use to have my vicodin delivered to me 3 times a week by 3 different sites. It's not fun being an addict. Thank God I have been sober for a long time and those sources are gone!!
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 f tn He didn't use any needles n he only took pills n smoke green n drank beer just wanted to b safe.
Avatar f tn Direct contact with blood or infected bodily fluids Unprotected sex with an infected partner Shared or re-used needles (for example, sharing needles for illegal drugs or re-using needles that are not properly sterilized for acupuncture, tattoos, or ear/body piercing) From an infected mother to her newborn baby during delivery
Avatar m tn I know that aseptic procedures have been adopted in regular hospitals, and it is very rare to reuse needles. But I still worry about the risks, especially in the case of illegal operations by nurses. I read the news before and knew that a doctor in India was sued. So I want to know, under the theoretical conditions, if the nurse reuses the needle and the needle tube and then gives the patient an intramuscular injection, is there a risk of infection? What is the principle?
Avatar f tn ) They legaly cannot use opened meds that belonged to someone else, but also they ethically should not use them because they do not know if they are the original drugs or a substitute (and I am not saying they are substitutes, just that the agency /clinic cannot take a chance). The agency or clinic would need to have a pharmacist because only a pharmacist can repackage and label the medication and give it to the next recipient. Doctors and nurses cannot legaly package and label meds.
Avatar m tn You see, from your vast knowledge that you have about illegal drugs, you seemed to have failed to realize they are unregulated. One cocaine supplier might be cutting it down with paint thinner while another with battery acid, or baby powder.... we have no idea, and neither do you. So how are we suposed to coach you, on the best way to snarf up cocaine without burning a hole in your nose? Secondly, how am I going to coach you on the best way to perform an illegal activity?
1094593 tn?1259517699 I am trying to get my best friend to stop using with me. She is not interested. I know that someone has to want to do it for it to work. My question however is this. She is running out of pills every month and I used to share with her and I her I could no longer do that b/c it would jepardise my sobierty. I know, I am a terrible speller. She said she would try to get pills (percocts are her choice) on line.
Avatar m tn Thanks alot everybody and I this scare will definitely help me to stop using IV drugs and sharing needles. I live in Orlando and its illegal to have needles without prescription so I want everybody to know that this is a very wrong policy and also that no drug or high is worth contracting Hepatitis C. I hope everybody understands the seriousness of these problems. Good night.
Avatar m tn Hi i have one question about a year ago i was using steroids and went to get my weekly injection. My trainer use to inject me.He would always load the steroid infront of me and inject me. There was one instance where he took the needle and steroid into the bathroom and took a while. What are the chances of a HIV transmission, if he injected himself then me Ten mins later. As far as i know he his a healthy person.
Avatar n tn 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...
1255682 tn?1269359864 May be someone can guide me to this question, or an attorney: I received a full set of my medical records from Fort Myers, FL when I moved to Okeechobee, Florida. I am on Medicaid, and there is no doctor that wants to see me, because I believe because within my medical records, the Doctor in Fort Myers, Fl has entered that I "Smoke Pot". I have never touched illegal drugs in my life.
148588 tn?1465778809 Have you ever tasted okra? Other than in the fried form, it SHOULD be illegal. (kidding, it's not THAT bad).
Avatar m tn Yet it happens every day in American streets and all over the world. The sad reality is illegal drugs are a big business. One can say it is the fault of demand for illegal drugs. As an American i watch every day as our Government fights meaningless wars away from our own soil. But watch idly as our own borders are not secured and any one can just about walk across them. With the world economy worsening every day. People are just trying to feed there families.
Avatar n tn Not just a dollar bill, unless everyone B.Y.O.S. (bring your own straw) Sorry--Just kidding, but many times people that snort drugs have sores in their noses. Surely there wasn't alot of conversation about that goin on. :-) Hopefully you are fine. If you have doubts, you can resolve them with a simple blood test. It doesn't matter how long ago. It doesn't matter when the last time you snorted coke was. Or if you have symptoms. It is still a risk factor, no matter how slight.
1530342 tn?1405016490 Chris Christie–are openly acknowledging that the so-called “War on Drugs” was a failure. The show looked at some old footage from 2004, in which then-Senate hopeful Barack Obama declared the “War on Drugs” to be an “utter failure” and said the country needed to “rethink and decriminalize out marijuana laws.
Avatar f tn Depends on the person. Depends on how severe the anxiety is. Kava is the closest herb probably to a benzo in effect. It comes in different forms. The traditional way to take it is a drink, which is how they use it in the islands where it's native. You can take it in a tea or alcohol tincture, but it tastes pretty awful. You can take the plain herb in a capsule. You can take the juice in a capsule.
Avatar n tn Does anybody know a good way to speak with your doctor about illegal drug use? I recently did too much cocaine and fortunately it's scared me enough that I'm not going to do it again, but I am having one health issue related to it that I want speak with a doctor about (numbness in a part of my fingertips). However, I am worried about this being placed on my medical record. I think that health insurance companies and other doctors would have access to this.
Avatar f tn ve gone down, and just tell the OB that you want to get off of it and that you are addicted to it. That way they will do things the legit way and that will make you feel a little better about things and you won't have to go to the "other doc" anymore. Also, if you're taking them for anything other than physical pain, please get that taken care of-the dr can help with that Im sure. If the physical pain is bad, the dr can help with alternatives.
1649704 tn?1402778437 Should we start with that part of the entertainment industry that glorifies drug trafficking and use, glorifies pimps and prostitution where illegal drug use is rampant, and glorifies lawbreakers and ex-cons? Does the fashion industry promote images of people that look like they are pale, skinny drug addicts? Should we do more than slap people on the wrist for selling illegal drugs? What more can be done for those who are lost in drug addiction?...
Avatar f tn Hi! If you were my patient, I would advise you that most drugs and alcohol will NOT harm sperm quality, but might decrease the numbers and cause lowered fertility. The other thing to consider too, is that whether you are going to want to continue to use these substances after the baby is born. Presumably you wouldn't want to raise a child in that environment and cutting back now would be an excellent plan. I can't condone use of any illegal drugs.
