Dr. Mark Agresti, West Palm Beach Drug & Alcohol Detox Specialist -- Psychiatrist, explains normal steps of how a person becomes an Opiate Addict. He explains the beginning stages of receiving a prescription opiate drug and how the person feels taking them. Opiates bring a state of euphoria and the tolerance level of the pill builds, meaning more pills to reach the initial state of euphoria are required. Dr. Agresti discusses the symptoms of physical symptoms of withdrawal for an opiate addict.

  • why does someone get 20 pills just because they got their tooth out? I only got 2 and didn't take them.

  • hey doc u forgot insomia which for me was 8 days of no sleep ......which was fuckin insane..i had to be awake and go threw all that bull shit

  • @MrMcNell alright well I'm really sorry for you thats terrible, but I don't appreciate you accusing me of being an addict when you don't even know me and you have no idea what kind of pain i'm in. anyway its all good.. have you ever heard of mushrooms treating cluster headaches? google " drugs inc. national geographic - magic mushroom medicine"

  • @wickawickawick I get cluster headaches you have nothing to complain about sometimes I wish my headaches were treatable by pain medz.

  • @kitchenfromhell no, cold turkey is dangerous- you can relapse. its better to just taper off by reducing your dosage every day

  • @MrMcNell you dont know what you're talking about. I have the worst pain ever and non-narcotics don't help the pain. even with the narcotic I still feel the pain. I actually had to go without for 2 weeks because my doctor was on vacation and mentally I felt the same no anxiety or depression, no withdrawl at all, but the pain was so bad I was taking like 10-12 tylenol a day. everyones different- not all people feel "euphoria" on pain pills.

  • It took me about 3 months before I realised I was hooked well and truely because it is a gradual process that creeps up on you like a sneaky little devil. Best not to take any type of opiate. Methadone and subbies are far harder and take many months to get off. The docs don't have a clue what they do to people's lives. It's legal dealing.

  • How long we're you addicted ? If it was that easy why doesn't everyone just smoke weed? I'm sure most people have tried this including me and it don't do jack shit for a hardcore methadone and heroin addict. In fact when your sick it makes it worse. Just my experience. 15 years addict for me.

  • Wicka you are def addicted gaha

  • If you can make it for 24 hours without intence anxiety you probably wont get it. The extent of withdrawal seems directly related to the dose you were taking when you went off the drug.The higher the dose the more severe the symtoms of withdrawal. This is my opinion.
