Will a hospital help you if you go there & also NOT call the police if you are having drug withdrawal symptoms?
I was told that some hospitals can help you and some can not.Does anyone know anything about the hospitals in Kentucky ? Do they call the police or anything like that or no ? There is someone I am very close to that I want to help but I don't want for them to get in any trouble of any kind if I take them there.It's terrible watching them suffer.It all began by them trying to treat themselves for chronic pain but obviously it did not work very well.They still have pain after the drugs wear off and now they are very sick on top of that and now they have no money because they do anything and everything to get money and spend their last penny so that they won't have to go through being sick.Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ultram drug withdrawal?
i have been on narcotics for over 10 yrs due to major spinal problems and surgeries. i have been on oxycontin, vicodin, percocet and various other pain relievers over this time.., which i had no problem stopping. for about the last year, I have been on ultram 50mg 2 pills 4 times a day. This drug is supposedly non addictive and non narcotic, but when ever i try to stop taking it, i get major withdrawal symptoms, cold, hot, clammy, skin crawling, dry heaves, and the runs to name a few. I don't want to be dependent on any drug, but i can't afford to be sick like that for a few days and miss work...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

When you have drug withdrawals, could taking another drug similar to the one ur going off of help w/it all?
If you're taking let's say either xanax, valium, ativan, klonopin, and you start to withdraw from them, considering ur dependent on them....and lets say you take ANOTHER different drug, but in the same class,...will that DO anything, or is your body strictly specifically addicted to that one particular chemical and the others really won't help at all?If you run out of valium and are addicted to it....will taking xanax or klonopin or ativan help at all?And vice versa?exactly how " strict" is drug withdrawal?I've heard some stories of how if you are a heroin addictict or an alcholic, how certain drugs can help with the withdrawals like valium, etc.

Dealing with dieting and drug withdrawal at the same time?
I recently stopped taking an anti depressant zoloft because it made me feel awful. The withdrawal is difficult, but I decided to quit it cold turkey. At the same time, when I came home today, my mother yelled at me for being over weight and is making me monitor everything I do, which is very stressful for me, because of withdrawal and lack of mental stability.I really don't know what to do. It wouldn't be as big of a deal if I wasn't dealing with one or the other, but I am at the same time, and I don't know how to cope.I have been taking zoloft for about a year. I recently upped my dose, but I felt really awful, and entirely unstable with the new dosage, so I stopped all together.
