Depends upon which drug the person is addicted to.\n\nDextromethorphan hydro-bromide is derived from morphine, but lacks the narcotic effects.\nGuaifenesin enables phlegm to be removed from the airways by the cough reflex.\nPseudo-ephedrine relieves nasal congestion.\n\nThese are all cold & flu remedies, most common side effect is constipation, allergic reaction varies amongst individuals.

I know some one who had suffered from this problem, his was also due to M.S.. His eyes made small involuntary movements, but the condition seems to have disappeared. He is taking a virtually unknown prescription drug that is working miracles in people with M.S.and other autoimmune disorders, it is known as Low Dose Naltrexone. Doctor Bernard Bihari of New York City has been working with this drug since the 80's. and it is just now starting to get some attention. The second annual Low Dose Naltrexone Conference was held in Washington this year, you can hear the lectures off the web site. Because the monthly treatment cost is only $38 u.s. per patient don't expect any drug company involvement any time soon. A few private clinical trails have commenced world wide and the preliminary results are all quite promising. If you have not heard of this little know treatment yet. try clicking on the link below and start your research, it might be a viable option for you.\n\nAnother very important avenue you should explore when treating M.S. is neurotoxin damage both dietary and environmental. Things like monosodium glutamate, aspartame, heavy metals,food additives, preservatives, fungal and bacterial mycotoxins maybe causing or exacerbating your condition. Many M.S. sufferers have made their symptoms disappear by eliminating the above mentioned poisons from their body.\n\nBecause most packaged foods have M.S.G. (under a disguised category such as modified corn starch, spices, yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein etc.) I would stick to fresh organically raised foods, stay away from anything packaged . Drink clean distilled or R.O. water only.\n\nGet checked for heavy metal contamination, have both Hair analysis and Urinalysis through Calcium EDTA provocation. There is a possibility that you have mercury poisoning, from either vaccination, or through food consumption. If you are positive for heavy metals, then chelation therapy should be explored. Dr Gary Gordon of Tempe Arizona is the expert here. He also works with Dr Amy Yasko that specializes in patients with neurological disorders.\n\nTo check for biotoxin exposure I would recommend Dr.Shoemaker’s website listed below. On his site there is information on doing a VCS (visual contrast sensitivity) test. This doctor specializes on treating people with biotoxin-induced illness.\n\nSome final recommendations I have for you is to look into: enzyme therapy such as Wobenzym N, (it is very popular in Europe especially Germany), Vitamin D therapy and Histamine therapy \n\nAlthough the doctors mentioned below are available for phone consultations, Dr Bihari will be extremely difficult to speak with, instead I would call one of the compounding pharmacies listed on the web site and ask for names of doctors in your area that might be sending prescriptions to them.\n\nI have confidence that you can beat this thing, or put it into remission, all the best to you!

Yes, I have had numerous family members addicted to these drugs.  They are prescription pain killers that are highly addictive.  My cousin was addicted to them for about 2 years, and they almost destroyed her life.  She finally addmited to having a problem and admitted herself into a rehab.  She was there for 6 weeks.  They put her through detox and weaned her off the drugs.  She had the same withdrawl symptoms of a heroin addict.  The doctors first prescribed them to her when she had problems with her back and she was in a lot of pain.  They seemed to help but only for a little while and she then needed more and more of the painkillers to work.  In the end she was taking about 15-20 a day.  I say that you and your family try to do an intervention on your brother.  It could mean his life.  Best wishes to you and I pray that your brother finds a solution to his problem.

This is a load of crap, Diphenhydramine is just the generic name for Benedryl an anti-histamine in fact the most powerful member of its family. if this were true then most people that use these drugs for allergies, etc. would show weight gain which they don't.  I will tell you that as an insomniac one drug that will cause you o sleep-eat is Ambien.  If you go to bed slightly hungry you will take the drug and fall asleep wake up in a trance like condition hit the fridge or start cooking.  My wife used to be afraid I would burn down the house because I would leave the stove or oven on.  She would get up and clean up everything at 3am.  Lets just say I don't use that anymore now that lunesta is on the market.

Yes, this is basically Vicodin.  It is a combination of Tylenol and an opioid pain medication and is prescribed for moderate to severe pain.  In cases of overdose, the hydrocodone can cause respiratory depression and the apap (Tylenol) can cause liver damage.  More commonly reported side effects are dizziness, sedation/drowsiness, constipation, nausea, and itchiness.  And yes, in some cases it can lead to dependence.

Not really. When you say "in between", that would assume that the drugs are similar. As you say, Adderall is a stimulant and Wellbutrin is an antidepressant with benefits for ADD'ers. (I take that, and I find it quite helpful, I'm not as impulsive.) It wouldn't address sleep at all, though. To clarify, if you are trying to do two different things, there is no "in between".\n\nOver-the-counter things you could try could include two or three benedryl (I've been taking four for years, pharmacologically safe, a "loading dose" as a pharmacologist would say). Things that your doctor could do could include amytriptylene or trazodone. What I absolutely would avoid would be habit forming drugs like Xanax or Restoril, and especially alcohol. ADD'ers have very high rates of substance abuse, so avoid those like the plague if you know what's good for you.\n\nGood luck, and be an informed consumer with your doc.\n\nWith regards to the previous comment, listen, just go away. I honestly have better things to do with my time than to honor you with attention, but here goes. Please, find a reason to exist. Be helpful. Channel your feelings into making the world better, not your whipping boy.

I haven't taken Effexor myself, my brother is still taking it, I have been through withdrawals with him, it wasn't nice. In his case, he wouldn't keep up on his re-fills...... BINGO!! He would end up being out of those nasty drugs,having to call the Doctor, I expect you know the drill. I can tell you this, be careful, if you've been on 150mgs. or more, you risk a reaction from doing it cold turkey. I know their capsules, so it is hard to take smaller amounts, all the ones I've seen are capsules. Because of the dangers of coming off cold, you're going to have to do what I did for my brother.....ween yourself off of them. Before my brother started them, I had never heard of them, now I have a healthy respect for them....or should I say an unhealthy respect, that's a hell of a drug. Even if you have to take them apart and put a small amount in coffee or pop, I admire what you're doing, I don't blame you for wanting off of them, but PLEASE do it slowly. GOOD LUCK!!

Many of your cold medicines, many of which are becoming "behind the counter-over the counter meds". Most of these are decongestants that do contain amphetamines and our purchased in large quantity by cookers to extract the amphetamine to make meth.

I had a friend that was addicted to adderall.  She would take like 200-300mg each day.  Then, one day when the adderall seemed to do nothing anymore, she turned to Crystal Meth.!  Whatever you do, don't do that!
