Suboxone…now What Do I Do?
Question by BaBaoooMowMow: Suboxone…now what do I do?
[rewrite]Hello All. I feel awful stupid doing this but here goes…. I have been a member of YA since spring or so. During this time I wrote several answers to people who were caught in the throws of addiction. The irony is that during this time i was a raging norco addict. Well today it all came to head. I burned through my meds waaaaaay too fast and I went to the doctor’s office to get more. This would be two weeks before I was due. Knowing this I decided to pull some BS and steal part of my chart with my last script so I could get more. But I was caught. I know I deserved to go to jail or at the least be kicked from my doctor’s office. But instead they sat down with me and talked about my addiction and how it can make good people do really bad things. Just to clarify I really think of myself as a pretty good person, im the father of two and have a wife of 21 years. I started taking painkillers for a herniated disk. But as summer went on I started taking more and taking them when I really didnt need pain relief. To give you an idea of the scale I would take 5 10/325 norco’s at a time and sometimes I would take as many as 7 10/325!

Which of These Illicit Drugs Is the Most Brain Damaging?
Question by DJ: Which of these illicit drugs is the most brain damaging?
[rewrite]I’m doing a research project for psychology and the topic is about neurology. I came across an interesting graph on this site:
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/wdrug.html
But the graph is ranked by physical addiction and physical harm but not brain damage. My question is which drugs from the following list causes the most brain damage (negatively effects cognitive ability, concentration, and ability to learn; instead of just causing physical dependence) in the long term and not just under influence or coming down from the effects
