My sister's husband detoxed in my parent's home. I watched him for three days. It was awful. Afterwards, I asked what that felt like. He said "Imagine the worst flu you ever had, and multiply by 100"! He died later from an overdose. RIP Skeet.

Just to let anyone that has a loved one addicted to anything that they have to want to quit. They have to want it deep in their soul, they have to realize they hate the drug. Its like being in an abusive relationship. After more than a decade of opiate and heroine use it took me to get to the point were i wanted to quit , really wanted it. bcuz if u do it for someone else or just to get ur shit back, sure it might work in the beginning but chances for relapse are greater. Not to say if you want it you wont ever relapse but this is a thinking disease and our mind can be a dark place best to start on a for firm foundation.

He clarifies it so well. Wish he was on every news station across the country.

Please, please validate the difference between dependency and addiction. As a person on low dose opioids for over twenty years for chronic pain, I know full well my body is dependent on this medication.I take them just as they are prescribed, and they give me a quality of life I deserve. I get no high, I get pain relief. I resent being lumped in with street drug users, I am no junkie, I do not sell them for profit. But the opioid crisis 'experts' do not differentiate between someone like me and the person sticking a needle in their arm to get out of it. The stigma is enormous. The opioid crisis is a construct and needs to be researched so much better. Btw, fentanyl, 100 times stronger than morphine did absolutely nothing for me after a total knee replacement.Suicidal with pain, I had to fight doctor after doctor to get what did work for me...ketamine.Everybody is different, and chronic pain patients are NOT junkies.And don't always turn into junkies..its simply not always the case.

My kid has been on this path for 13 years , it’s a never ending cycle, he’s in jail now for possession of heroine

I am so greatly blessed. I have experienced 3 major surgeries. My doctors prescribed me Lortab, Percocet, and Oxytocin. These medications never helped me to manage my pain. The only medication that helped to releave my pain was extra strength Tylenol. The pain medication never worked for me and I through them down the toylet. I have an identical twin sister and pain medications doesn't help her either. Very blessed, because their is no drug or alcohol addiction on either side of my parent's family. So, I quess that plays a part in it.

Ex user here. This guy is pretty on point. Two things: When he asked if you can smoke perfect. The answer is actually yes, except, not percocet specifically. Any of the pills that come with acetaminophen you can't smoke. HOWEVER, pills like Roxicodone or MS Contin which are pure oxycodone or morphine you CAN smoke. In keeping with the theme of the video, signs of this will include: pieces of foil with lined burnt onto it, and black soot on their fingers or face from scratching their face. Also, a wash is more commonly done by taking old cottons that have already been used to filter heroin shots, throwing them all together in a spoon, adding water, and then shooting that to get any residual drugs left on the spoon or in old filtering cottons.

I’m 25 and I’ve been addicted to Roxy’s for about 2 years now and last year alone I spent 45k on it. I’m trying to get clean so bad but I do t have a good enough job that offers insurance for rehabilitation. I will keep praying, trying NA and keep educating myself so I don’t ruin my life anymore than i already have

Please do a similar video about benzodiazapene addiction. These are as dangerous, if not more dangerous than opiates, yet nobody talks about them and the havoc they've wreaked on families throughout the world. The media is too hooked on the opioid crisis.

WHERE IT COULD END. I am a recovering burn Survivor. My left SI joint suffered 5 degree burns leaving bone against bone. So unfortunately I take pain medication. Have done them for the last 27 year's. I had to come to the point where the pain medication was just a tool used to help me control my pain when I move. I was sick once because I felt bad for my neighbor who hurt his back. I was so niave, I found that IF you follow your doctor's direction you never get sick, you may have a bad day physically BUT that is when you just stop whatever you doing and take care of yourself. Let the other people around you know that you taking a MEEEE DAY and they will be greatful. I have seen everything you have talked about and unless they want to address the person inside yourself you will never be clean. By the Grace of God I have been able to go from dozens of medication down to only 2 medications a day and I can have a life. What people don't talk about is ALCOHOL AND PAIN MEDICATIONS. I have lost several good friends because they were in DENIAL.

Wish I had known this before my only son overdosed. There is no healing from this senseless tragedy, your constantly asking yourself where you went wrong or why couldn't you see it?

“So can I smoke a Percocet “..? Asking for a friend . Ok Kyle 🥴

This doctor is so good at articulating every single facet surrounding addiction... It's simply amazing.

lmao the way he says water gives away his Baltimore accent

Great video/topic. Can you talk on the show about the signs, of cocaine use, and how it's taken, and side effects?

Everyone is different. Some people never have a problem with prescriptions while some people become addicts. Depends on the person.

Sounds so scary. What does it take for someone to quit.

Wash". For educational purposes- is the second draw from a shot. To get whatever medicine is left behind in the spoon. Usually people will save filters after the first shot for a rainy day.

I’m clean and sober 21 yrs .. I broke the cycle 🙏🏼 w lots of therapy but what I don’t understand is after major surgeries and bring on a morphine drip and going home w a script for pain , why I didn’t become addicted again .. good therapy and rehab .

I've never developed an addiction and hope I never will .

i totally missed the signs from my past roommate. should have known when she mentioned keeping narcan In the house. just in case somebody needed it (my dumb ass thinking she meant for someone else in a party settings)

I would love to have this dr treat me....I been looking for help and just can't seem to find any places willing to take me....I want to get on methadone or suboxone so bad.

What can you tell us about Autism ? The neurodevelopmental disorder category.. I understand this disorder is life-long & that it cannot be cured or effectively treated with medication. Love to hear you chat with Dr Ramani about this terrible illness, thanks

I'm fight withdrawals from pain pill yes I do have very bad back problems and they want to do surgery but I can't do that but I have been taking pills for 25 years and I trying to get off of them and it's been so hard for me and my family I wish I could get better help

Interesting. I was on opioid pain management for degenerative scoliosis for nearly 4 years. I always had pills left over when I went to the Pain clinic and I took them as directed. Then they stopped working and if I took more I just felt bitchy. I decided it wasn't worth the monthly humiliation and weaned myself off in about ten days. Never went back and that was five years ago. Still in pain of course.

Using any drug to escape from a mental reality ultimately results in addiction. On the other hand, opiates used to mitigate physical pain conditions over long periods of time, can and likely will result in dependency. The bottom line, people with addictive personality traits, are absolutely attempting to escape their unresolved mental reality regardless of the drugs they're doing. Dependency and addiction are two very different things and that line gets blurred way too frequently. It isn't fair or even logical to demonize opiates, the people who've added life to their years and years to their life from pain medicine is too often pushed aside, while the true problem begins with individuals desperate attempt to escape their unresolved mental reality. Yes, opiate addiction is a tragic situation but it's adding insult to injury by leaving people to poison themselves with NSAIDS as their only realistic option for relief. It's like a robber with a hostage, you don't delete both just because the one person went haywire. Repair the root cause, not the catalyst. Know why you take or don't take something, ffs Pushing an agenda based on a third of the honest information is purely despicable manipulation. Please wake up, please...

Tar also comes in these tiny balls, it’s put into a piece of plastic wrap. Then rolled up. This is about half of a size of a dime coin. It smells bad of vinegar. (Ex used H). At least this is the common on Texas.

I truly cannot stand the man in the red. All he does is look down on, degrade and judge people. Some people genuinely need certain medications for pain. In addition, not everyone will become addicted. Claiming that someone who needed Codeine after a car accident will end up with a needle in their arm, is just ridiculous. Of course it happens. But everyone overusing it has ruined it for people who have chronic pain and truly do need meds as needed.

Should change the thumbnail to show "How to spot opioid abuse" not "How to spot opioid use".

Oxycodone compared to all opiates is known to have a paradoxical opiate effect where along with the normal very comfortable sedation you get you also get a rush of energy. Not like coke or stimulants but a form of energy all its own. And mixed with the sedation it creates a tremendous euphoria than all other opiates do not come close to. This is my personal experience.

Great! Now I can hide the signs better from my loved ones!😋

I can get thru all the symptoms except the restlessness it’s horrible trying to sleep and your soul feels like it’s trying to jump out your body

To those that are fighting to beat this fucked up addiction... you have to not only do it for your family and children you will have to want to do it for yourself. I know when your in that mindset you don't give a shit about anything but deep down you know you do and pretty much have given up....

How about the cylonenz, Xanax and narco mix that is snorted . From a pharmacist point of view , we are fed up with pain doctors writing these meds with every patient of theirs have cervical issues and now it is gabapentin craze .

One correction: a wash is when you get all of your used cottons together and “wash” them by adding water and squeezing and squishing until the damn cotton ball is clean enough to look new again to get a little bit of dope out of it. But yes we do scrape counters too and add that to the wash but the wash itself is the cottons.

Scraping of the table being a wash that's a first,a wash in england is where you get all the old filters and rein ject them up through adding more citric water ect heating it up again

He was so stuck on the slang lol

I need help to leave opiates

I’m surprised this is an addiction doctor. He misspoke several times. Washing, may be what he suggested, but they usually take the cotton ball they’ve used multiple times, and try to pull out any of the heroin, or opiate medication they are injecting. He missed a huge point, with regards to Fentanyl. It’s 100 times stronger than Morphine. The majority of the overdoses are from the Fentanyl. As far as routes of ingestion, you can put the pills in your bum, and it’s a stronger high than just swallowing the pill. I can’t remember what the name is. I’m a ER RN, as well as a chronically ill patient with progressive MS, that takes opiates as a part of my treatment plan. I’m well versed from both sides of the coin. Gabapentin is a medicine used for nerve pain, it’s also used for seizures. It’s not a “white powder.”

As of the few years 9 out of 10 of the opiods manufacturers now put something in the opiods that enable them to be used with a syringe. That is another reason why herion is used. Not just because of the cost. Opiods such as oxicontin is a lot more expensive. But the oxi high last longer then herion.

I have almost done anything except the hardcore stuff with my weed / tobacco addiction especially the "washing" where I would use alcohol to clean my grinder and solve the THC to then smoke it from foil or using tweezers going through my ashtray searching for bud that has not completely burned.

It is not that difficult to come out of home-based addictions, I presume.

You should address kids and teenagers?

Poppy seeds contains opium and is an addictive food either used for flavors, sweet dishes or as spices and fillings.

Thank you so much very helpful information God bless youu 💛 ❤

I think the Dog is using 😂✌

Mid video Facebook ad. Thumbs down. Done watching.

I can’t believe he’s informing on signs of drug use but doesn’t even know you can smoke percs

I was on pain pills for over 10yrs. When they started getting onto doctors and pharmacy's for this opioid problem my doctor went ahead and retired instead of dealing with it. So i lost my prescription from him which was about 4 yrs. Of me taking and when script ran out i was out didn't go looking for something to replace started back on my ibuprofen of about 12 to 18- 200mg a day. Which will probably kill me because that's a lot but i have real pain from 6 knee surgery starting at age 15. Knee replacement and hip replacement but putting off replacing other knee until cant deal any more but i among other people are being punished for what people who have never been prescribed the pain meds. are abusing them and over dosing. Has there been a study on the ones that over dosed how many actually had a prescription and how many did not ? I think they would end up same place if thet can not control there addiction. But now people are suffering because of there bad choices. Even the Vets had there pain meds took. How is that even close to being right. They suffered enough don't you think. That's my story on opioids. I will bet any amount they want take ibuprofen off shelf when over use kills people in pain. Want be mentioned

90%of heroin in Britain is brown from Afghanistan a teenth 1.75gm 40%will cost 45 pounds if you have a normal brer rabbit last you the day

Happy new year medcircle, support and hugs to you!! Million subs strong!!⭐💯🌞🥰. Thank you Dr. Dom, Kyle and hugs to Callie. Pain mgmt is real, please seek a care plan, it's ok to admit being in pain. Seek good care team, it's not easy, be patient. 🛐⚕️Suffering from cranial, jaw, neck pain, chose chiropractor and physical therapy with meds.

The dog looks high lol

They also call Heroin dog food on the street here in the south

Just hearing the words are making my joints hurt

10:18 Kyle I know you’re passionate but please don’t wake doggo

The little blue "Perc 30s" around here are KNOWN to have fentanol.

You missed perc percocet

Oramorph addictive?

My neighbors use drugs and I don't know what it is, which freaks me out. The smell comes into my kitchen. From what others have said, the sickly skunk odor is today's marijuana. But I know intuitively there's something mixed with it, and that they're mixing/cooking something in their place and helping someone deal. Nobody will do anything about this ( where I live) and it sucks. What would drug dealers roll into a joint and sell that is really smelly, anyone have any ideas? Skunky, eggy, somewhat sweet ...not a good smell at all. Then I smell like some kind of household cleaner when they are done doing whatever they are doing.

Dilauded is called dilos or d's

I just found out a friend was smoking pills for more then a year.

👍❤️

What about tramadol, you take 5-8 of those along with xanax and it will give you a instant rush of euphoria along with the nod like heroin. I'm on 8 tramadol 50mg with 5 xanax and Im just fighting my sleep nodding in and out feeling good. People seem to overlook tramadol but it is a opioid even though it's weak but you can still get high off it when taking large amounts with xanax.

Many people smoke these things and have very little 💔 physical signs. Their school, job, businesses, and relationships suffer. People make excuses to parents, collegues and friends. If they have children they make excuses to child protection services. Drug tests are failing because people dilute their bodies with detox and excessive water drinking. People are in denial when they see signs. Some are not in denial, however and try hard to get probation officers , doctors, child protection services, court officers, to help you with drug tests. Most do only urine test and most people pass . It's disgusting how someone can have all the proof of a loved one selling and doing drugs and people are more worried about violating a person's rights than helping them get something done to help their loved ones. Would you believe even with video and the actual drug found and behavior videoed most people still never got stopped. My kid thinks Ecstasy is ok. With everything being laced it's a constant state of anxiety for parents dealing with the craziness of watching their child go through the losing of jobs and losing friends and losing hope and health it's horrific. It's exhausting. Jails and courts and probation officers and parents need to be working together and praying 🙏 Thanks for the video ❣️

you forgot smoking on foil

Um, so this video is strikingly over generalizes. I became dependant on pain meds after I hurt my knee and I NEVER put a needle in my arm OR ingested heroine. NEVER. Im no longer dependant on pain meds. That said, ANYONE who takes pain meds becomes physically dependant on them if you take them on the regular basis, but This does not mean youre a full blown addict in need of a recovery program. Not every person who takes pain killers puts a needle in their arm or moves to heroine. I mean, come on guys. Who do yall work for to get paid for saying this?

What I fail to understand is that if these doctors are right on the use of opioids in acute care specifically, then why is so easy to get a prescription of Oxycodone in the US? Europe? In some states, morphine is given out in pills like candy. And if used in hospice care specifically you'll be given morphine sulfate, endone, dilaudid or legal diamorph 'heroin' (which does exist although this is primarily for labor.) The laws need to change, considering an addict might search for heroin or a pill to feel normal but would end up in jail for possession of morphine? Harm reduction, less penalties, more sobriety.

is normabel an opioid? It's been used in europe through decades...everyone uses it

Dirty table?? More like the back of a dirty Toilet at a dive bar

Is Gabapentin an opioid?

The most handsome doctor i have ever seen!

09:10 massively disappointing to hear a medical professional make the statement “injecting is the fastest way to the brain “. This is is normally a lay person’s incorrect guess when in fact smoking reaches the brain even faster via the lung blood barrier. It is the efficiency of the lungs to absorb oxygen into the blood circulation that drugs hitch a ride on.

Why am I SEEING THIS.? AM I BEING THREATENED. ?

How does he know all this lol?

In england its gear,brown ,h smack ,crack is white,oh coffie

Do not accept an opioid prescription! Dealing with the pain for a few days is a better choice than taking the risk. I have told my kids the same. I just don't understand why they are still prescribing opioids.

Heroin is called (boi , boy ). Coke is called (girl, white). (Texas and surrounding states)

That's not the only way it comes & that's not the only terminology either. So, you need explore the terminologies & the form that it comes in...take for instance the different eras. The 60's & 70's it was called China-white & was peddled to young kids in the form of lollipops.

I object to this being streamed to me. I feel it is a threat.

Trust you can smoke percs

I normally appreciate this channel and the information provided however your first minute was incredibly insensitive and offensive not to mention the fact that people have actual conditions/illnesses/injuries that are suffering in this country because others have abused a system by either over prescribing without proper care or observation or abused the old systems that didn’t track the amount people filled and were prescribed. People abuse every system out there from disability and government assistance to coupon programs. We shouldn’t punish all for the choices of the few. Very disappointed as a person with chronic illness and the inability to take NSAIDS who has been basically given PTSD by the healthcare system in the US when I have never once in my entire medical history abused medications prescribed to me in any way.

👏👏

Funny how he doesn’t know what a @bag” is equal to. Shit, i live in cartel country where we measure in clavos and kilos, not points. Hey Doc, a “bag” is a tenth of a gram, or some would call it a point.

I find tin foil with a black substance

How to spot a femboy, red Polo sweater and tightly crossed legs

So much misinformation and stigma in this video. Wow. MOST people who are prescribed pain pills do fine, stop blaming pain patients for this.

I hid it 4 years ide bin on meatherdone cudent sleep some one gave some I was off me head loved it each time ide get up set then buy it same evry day .stop coz it gets harder to stop strain on body

The main difference between Oxycodone & Oxycontin is that Oxycontin is the brand name & Oxycodone is the active ingredient. Just like Tylenol & Acetaminophen.
