helping to dry out

Tags: "cocaine, chemicals, addict

I'm helping a fam member come clean from cocaine. he says he wants help-but dont think he is fully convinced that he is an addict of all mind altering chemicals. Is there anthing that IBprofen can be mixed with to get a hi? he seems to be wanting to take that more frequently.

Hmm, I sure don't know of anything, but then again, kids these days seem to know all kinds of tricks! It could just be that he's feeling the pain of withdrawal and the Ibu is helping the achy, flu like symptoms. Have you asked him yet how he's feeling?

Best of luck to you!

I thought that ibuprophen intensified the effects of any narcotic? Nsaids??? I dunno...

I haven't heard this before. Ibuprofen may be a big help in relieving his symptoms, though. It is far less dangerous than what he has been taking.
