Suboxone is a miracle drug for opiate addictions! This is the good news…

Other drugs are tougher I hear, as is imagine that they taper you off…

I do think that if opiates are your issue, and Suboxone is in your budget, you should look into it…

Answer by izzy
For goodness sake go and see a doctor and ask for help, it’s tough to go it alone.
Don’t use Suboxone without medical supervision either because “Suboxone can cause drug dependence.”

What makes people addicted to prescription drugs?

Question by ?Ebonique?: What makes people addicted to prescription drugs?
I don’t understand. Why do people get addicted to prescription drugs? I know people get addicted to street drugs like cocaine, heroine, etc., but why prescription drugs? I could never imagine myself getting addicted to prescription drugs. I thought people would look more forward to getting off prescription drugs rather than getting hooked on it.

Best answer:

Answer by Blitzed & Bombed
Prescription drugs can still get you high, just like street drugs, and are just as addictive. And of course, no one chooses to become addicted to a drug. Prescription drugs is a very wide category though, and can include anything from anxiety medications to muscle relaxants and painkillers.

Some people might abuse prescription drugs also because they are more readily accessible than street drugs. It is unfortunately very easy to “doctor shop” and get all of the pills you want.

Answer by Puppylvr
Addiction to prescription drugs comes in the same form as addiction to illegal drugs. Some drugs, if taken too often cause your body to become dependent on them. You’re body thinks that it NEEDS this stuff to survive, and will start having withdrawal symptoms without it. Convulsing, seizures, moodswings, it really messes with the chemicals in your body.

It’s one of the reasons prescriptions have to come from doctors, they limit the amount you get and take in order to help prevent your body from becoming dependent on them. It is an actual physical reaction that happens, and it’s very hard to beat.
