Why My Nurse Practitioner Recommends I Continue Stopping All 4 Medications Cold Turkey?
Question by : Why my Nurse practitioner recommends I continue stopping all 4 medications cold turkey?
I was prescribed against my will 4 medications abilify ativan lamictal and welbutrin 7 years ago I was 16 and what I mean by that is it was court ordered because i dropped out of school. My parents gave consent to force me on the medication. I live in Boston Mass. and recently read on the web a law has been passed to stop this BS. This makes me very happy that this may be true that this corrupt pharmaceutical companies and especially the court cannot force such crazy meds at such a young age. But anyway I am 23 years of age now and the first thing I did was cut the 30 mg abilify suddenly my sex drive is back and I have aggression which yea at first it may have been directed at the wrong people. But when I tell her 2 weeks later I did this and I had insomnia she prescribes in her words a “sleeping medication” called saphris,well at this point I trust nobody so I looked up curiously what is this medication another anti psychotic.Well do I have a right to be angry for this lack of information she describes. So I called earlier today and told her look I have some aggression but its going in the right direction it is motivation inside and I would like to stop these medications gradually, could you please help? although I was furious inside I handled the circumstances very well. I told her I have rights to not be on medication if you don’t want to help I will just stop taking them cold turkey. Yea do that oh yea and hang in there! This is a damn shame does it take a genius to figure out stopping such medications that I take can cause sever side effects? NO! so wtf? this shit is crazy and I am not focused on feeling depressed anymore but fully enraged for a “Nurse Practitioner ” would say this? that is basically saying go hang a rope and die but I have faith but currently am outraged at such lack of concern! I do not expect a reply for this because I answered my own question but I am sure somebody has had similar circumstances.
In the first year on these medications I went literally from 160 pounds to 215 and it just got worse from there. But guess what? I have the will and mind and god given right, to bounce back! I currently weigh 210 but I am 6’2 in height my most weight was 265! I am athletic build and attractive now but this confusion cost me 7 Years of life that will never come back.
Addiction to Drugs Physical or Mental?
Question by Omar: addiction to drugs physical or mental?
Is addiction to stimulant drugs a physical or mental addiction?
Best answer:
Answer by .
Depends. And is probably a mixture of both. With a drug like cocaine, if you have been taking it a lot, and then you don’t have any, you get a itchy desperate feeling like you’ve got to have some more. Same with cigarettes or alcohol, your body gets used to having it and when it doesn’t, it starts to withdraw and you want mor to stop the feeling of discomfort. But then I’d say that the onset of the addiction comes from a mental perspective. Say with a drug like weed, the physical withdraw isn’t uncomfortable, you just rely on it mentally.
Where Is Drug Abuse Worst in the U.S.?
Question by Hawks fan 206: Where is drug abuse worst in the U.S.?
Any data would be great
Best answer:
Answer by Alexander
I assume that the increased availability of drugs is where the greatest amount of harm is. drugs become bad when people don’t receive medical treatment. Since drugs can be shipped anywhere and access to health care is unfair, the worst problem is in large neighborhoods where many teens are on probation for drug related crimes.
Drug Addiction.?
Question by CONSTRUCTION: Drug addiction.?
My husband has been addicted to hydro/soma for three years and has been trying to get off them. In my opinion he has started them again the past couple of weeks. Other then his expressions and attitude the only thing I have to substantiate my opinion is his constricted pupils. He denies that it has anything to do with his drug abuse and states that it is because his contacts are so old. I would like to know if his pupils are not contracting do to the abuse or if it is possible that something else has caused the constriction.
