Abuse in drugs

Guest · Posted: Wed May 18, 2005 9:39 pm Post subject: Abuse in drugs

People who are in pain medications should take there medicatios
accordenly to what there doctor has prescribe them to. I have had
experience where patients whant more than what is soppose to and then
end up admiting that they take more than what they have to. Question?
If you are in pain do this drug help and how may you get addicted.

I agree. Just because there is a tolerance does not mean addiction. Not
in the least.

And there are people who have "addictive" personalities and become
addicted to cold meds and all kinds of things. These people are still
addicts even if the substance they are abusing is not classified as an
"addictive" substance.

"Addictive" personalities might also be classified as mentally
addictive. A good example of an illegal substance is marijuana. It is
not physically addictive. I think just about any drug can be mentally
addictive when there are perceived benefits.

I think that a lot of drugs are addicting even it's marijuana, but
regular drugs from pharmacies are more addicting like for example the
vicodin.

Thanks for responding me as well as a technician has have run into
situations where the patient if there in Medicaid think that they could
just buy there medications then tried to fill there medication yet do
not understand that they have just used up some of the refills even
though they have bought in cash. I have seen another one where its so
hard to get doctors to authorize the refill and they even cried,swear
and what nots. But that is addictive people you can not control them
nor there pain.
