getting over narcotic dependency?
My friend has been using narcotics for over 2 yrs and he wants to get off it. He takes about 10-15mg of hydrocodone or oxycodone a day and is not getting anything from it. Now he wants to get clean but complains of tiredness and upset stomach that is too hard to bare. He has quit for 2 weeks at a time but says he is so tired all the time and keeps diahrea for weeks. What can he do to get clean on his own? He needs help. His main complaint is severe exhaustion for weeks. He don't want a doctor to know about it or his family. So what can he do? he has also been prescribed amphetamines for weight loss (SUPER SPEED) but it dont give him enough energy to et through a day anymore. But he can pop a 5mg hydro and be fine and energetic almost instantly. ANY HELP FOR HIM? I told him to try energy shots or energy drinks but they arent helping either!

Anybody wanting to get clean has to clean house before he can do it properly. when I say clean house I mean get rid of any pains that he is having that may have even led him into using those drugs in the first place. If he is having stomach and bowel trouble that can come from pinched muscles in his back as well as any other back pain. Does he have headaches or neck pains? Those would make him tired very easily for they wear on you a lot and again what one might have been trying to escape from. He may even have trouble focusing on those pains, whether he has them or not, because his body is reacting to too many different things at one time. In case he has some complaints about those muscles here's how he can release them:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your head. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. After 45 seconds, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
With your neck in the lowered position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your head but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds.
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

I'm sorry to listen to that you are on this concern. :( When I met my boyfriend he used to be doing cocaine. I under no circumstances have performed it, however I know the way it is affected persons that I've identified and realize. My boyfriend give up bloodless turkey as he used to be concerned approximately his center after a 12 months or so of use. He and I have been each smoking cigarettes, in order that can have helped him, however then we each give up smoking too... For awhile it used to be particularly tough for me to feel he used to be performed with it, as for a whilst you're going to typically get tempted and should you see it on tv or a film it's going to make you believe bizarre or get a 'rush'... My bf in the future after he had give up months earlier than got here throughout a e-book he used to reduce it on or some thing, after which he had an urge and licked it... he felt so unhealthy for doing it after wards. He appears to be doing nice now! Depending on how unhealthy your dependancy is, I could propose that you just dedicate initially to your self that you're going to give up... speak with God... your loved ones and REAL peers... and holiday ALL ties with any persons you already know which can be doing ANY varieties of medications. You're going to ought to paintings VERY tough, however it is going to be profitable. You too can move to rehab... however I believe it could be greater and extra strong if you'll be able to do it to your possess. Good good fortune and God Bless... YOU CAN DO IT!
