For the person who asked about trazodone, it very common to use this drug during opiate w/d and almost always if cocaine was involved. Treatment centers are always stocked with drugs like trazodone, phenobarb, and clonodine. They'll use trazodone as a sleep aid and for depression. I think Remeron is a better drug and ill tell you why, There is one thing about trazodone, and very important if you are a male, like cocaine this drug causes something called "Priapism". For people who dont know what that is, it is an abnormal prolonged erection and can last for DAYS!. This causes impotence. Also in women trazodone can cause change in menstruation and stop it a together. Plus it tears up your stomach.
Im glad you're all understanding though, I always feel like im talking to the wall and most of the time I am. :D :D Purdue, abbott, endo.... ect. arent columbian drug lords, they are pharmaceutical companies that made medication like OxyContin, Dilaudid and Percocet to help control your pain. If your not abusing the drug but still going through hell, that doesnt make you an addict or a junkie. How many of us on this board that are going through benzos w/d were abusing them? Very few.
If you are not an addict, your not an addict. But a lot of us lived in glass houses before we even knew what these drugs did and we've gotten lost along the way. And a bad sense of direction, doesnt make you a bad person.
BTW im laynesaddiction, just on a different handle.
