SHALL I GIVE IN ..... YES..NO..YES./NO..YES

Today,i saw how much influence drug addiction has on our mind. It is realy strong and cant be underestimated.Since morn i was feeling sick because of my migraine. Itook a prescribed drug for this ****in headache. Latter I felt flu like situation and tremendous body ache accompanied with anxiety. Whether it is withdrawl is not my question. I just want to share that at one point of time i felt so much compelled for drugs that i went to procure them by any means and at any cost. Only one thing was tickingin in my mind if i dont take drugs i will not be alright and i will die in suffering. I got some but decided to have them at my home. Meanwhile,i swallowed another dose of 2 tabs of common migraine drug,a combination of ergotamine tart. and proclorperazine maleate. Till i reached home i felt some relief and began to think if i should take the opoids which i procured. After a battle of yes/no.yes/no,i resisted and decided no. MY QUESTION IS TILL HOW LONG THE ABOVE MENTIONED SITUATION ARISES DURING RECOVERY???

I never kept the account of fluids that needs to be taken during w/ds but my friend wants to know. So what is the max amount of fluid he should take. It is his second day.

Using is NOT an option right?  We deal with things head on now.

Medicos-  When someone types in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, it's assumed  that they're yelling.  It's a given when on the computer because we have no other way to express feeling.

If you're retaining fluid,you better check your blood pressure to make sure it's not high.

Vicki595. I dont think this forum is a class room. I just wanted to clear my apprehensions from those fellow users who have experienced the same things what i have been experiencing. I dont see any harm in that. So it should not be irritating to anyone.
