I've heard the expression Chipping recently regarding methadone and narcotic use. What does it mean? And what are the Signs?  Thanks.....Susan Lea

I have a bipolar step son who's only sane moments are when he's not not getting high and taking his Depakote - that's the anti-bipolar drug of choice these days. Very effective, too. Makes Lithium look like a sugar pill. Check'm out with your doc.

Hi Dorothy! LOL...Nice double posting ROFLMAO!!!! Don't you hate that?  Did you check out that zinc recipe down below? I think it's in the nicee thread. What do you think about that? Sounds really to good to be true.  What a Godsend that would be for us hurting addicts huh? I'm gonna follow those posts and see what happens. All I know is I heard when you got a cold if you suck the hell out of zinc lozenges it's supposed to knock the cold out in 2 days. Hell, I tried it and got the runs for 4 days and still had the stinking cold don't a know LOL. Anyway, I hope Shane takes your advice and really talks it over with a Pro. Sounds like more then one thing going on there. Shane, you reading this? Take care of yourself cause we need you around man!
I'm leaving work now so I'll be praying for you on my way home.
Power & Magick 2 U both,
Love to you all,
Wiz

I forgot to mention the buprenorphine...when I first started stealing drugs from work the first drug i ever shot into my body was the buprenorphine...why?  I did get high from it and it was not locked in the narcotic cabinet..it is addicting..yes, used the proper way they do use if for detoxing but that is at certain doses and monitored by a physician....there is the detox protocal....I just wanted to let you know it does produce a high and can be addicting.....love to all   cin

Hi Shane,  I agree with wizard,,,re: the depression not a good idea to start with the norco again,,,the euphoria is nice I'll admit but when it goes away what are you left with?  depression,  then my friend you are right back to square 1...I don't know much about neurontin except is it an anticonvulsant and is used for seizure disorders such as epilepsy how and why it works for seizures is a mystery to me...has your Doc. ever tried Lithium since you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder? I don't know i left nursing am few years ago, so much has happened.  I do know that alot of times when treating bipolar disorder or any other condition that it does take some trial a d error to find the "right medication" for each individual person..I'm wondering if the combo of both anticonvulsants are not responsible for the depression,,,I'm no doc but I'd be asking one...talk to your pharmacist, doc,,,,someone with alot of Pharm knowledge....i do know for sure tho if you go back to self medicating, you are going to get caught up in another viscious cycle...good luck to you and keep coming back.....love to all  cin   HI Wiz if ever oh ever a wiz there wuz....hee hee
