Does vicodin have any permanent mental effects on the brain?

ive been taking 1 (800 milligram) vicodin a day for 2 months but have stopped, im just wondering if there is any negative affects to it??

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Yes. All of the opiates, which are drugs containing opium or codeine, have negative effects on dream centers, memory, and most nasty of all, digestion. If you are experiencing digestive problems, well, that is why. Two months is not enuf to become addicted for life, but if you were to become that, like a heroin addict, you would need the drug every day the rest of your life, just to be normal and not in pain. Opiates, past a point, have no withdrawl or cure possible. Your brain will get back to normal in a month or two. Not a big deal. Prof. John Kitchin, psychology

Suicidal thoughts??????

Ok well I am 16 and I have been going through a lot lately I was molested many times a few years ago now that that is over I have other problems. Me and my boyfriend of two years have been having some problems lately and its not big things its just me over reacting about things that don't matter so I have been really upset about that. Also my mother is a great mother but tonight she is hanging out with her boyfriend when I want to be with her. This makes no sense but I had suicidal thoughts because she wouldn't be with me tonight. I am going to counseling for anxiety due to being molested. How can I stop having these thoughts sometimes I feel like I could just loose control and go crazy!

Additional Details

I dont want to talk to a doctor or antbody about this because I will be labeled crazy.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I understand why you do not want to go to a doctor. I felt the same way when I was your age, and for some of the same reasons, but you know what? I went to college and now I AM a psychologist. Your counselor can help you, plus you need to tell your mother the problems that her seeing her boyfriend is creating. Were you molested by him? That complicates matters. Without seeing anyone, it is still possible to get answers on-line here, so remember that! Suicide is not always the wrong choice, but it usually is. I wanted to commit suicide 3 months ago, and even got sent to a mental hospital for evaluation. All the doctors who examined me said that my life is so bad that they would commit suicide if they were me. I didn´t, and you know why? I found something that I like, and something that makes me feel good to be alive. I help people like you, and I help people who are homeless in San Diego. Prof. John Kitchin, Psychology

I strongly feel suicide is my best option?

pain is temporary pride is forever

I have aspergers syndrome, i cant do much for myself financially, no one in my family on life knows what aspergers is and it is useless to explain it to them for they just cut me off or shut me up,

im about to be kicked from my home for being 23 and living with my parents or i will go to prison because me and my probation officer dont get along

I cant get a job due to all my felonies when i was 18 i robed someone and sold drugs and was arrested for them both.

i hate the way i speak, look, and my situation.

i cant handle being homeless because it is winter and i cant stand the cold due to aspergers, i cant sleep in a homeles shelter because i wouldent be able to stand other homeless ppl trying to socialize with me.

I cant stand prison because im 23 and 135 pounds and will be made into a women constantly extorted and raped. and i would have to do ten years if i go back.

I strongly feel suicide is the best option, who wouldent?

This continued by e-mail as follows:

i was the one on yahoo answers, soo u say to treat autism with cocain deridatives, what meds are those by the way?

Im on no medication at all at the moment. I was on colonzapam but my medicaid expired. that worked but nowadays i feel nuts. what med do you reccomend?

And about paganism, i was reading that you beleive in god and whatnot, but when you say you saw god, can you explain that a little better?

I once, ONCE saw something unexplainable. I was 17 at the parks tennis courts at night. we were all smoking weed. keep in mind i have only hallucinated twice in my life and one of them i was not smoking weed. But i saw this black coud traveling like 80 mph right over the tennis court and it disapeared into the woods, thats it, i jumped and told my friends but everone wasnt paying attention.

Once in jail, i was trying to sleep and this like white cloud formed over me and i saw a face and was paraylzed, then it went away and i jumped up and told the c.o to get me out of that cell there was a ghost in there, he laughed at me.

I did do 30 months in prison, now i have ten years probation, and i dont get along with her, im scared.

My reply:

All ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) drugs are related in some way to cocaine, and I use Strattera, which is cocaine that has had that portion which addicts you snipped off of it, plus that portion which gets you "high" also snipped off of it. So, it isn't cocaine anymore, plus it is legal by prescription. Real cocaine does not get ADD people and us adult autistics high, either, but there is the chance this drug could become abused by normal people, so the high part gets axed. My book has a really good account of my meeting God, plus there is more in my diary (all of the HOME pages) and on Q page.

You do not have autism, nor ADD, so none of that applies to you. You most likely have Schizophrenia, and need to be on medicine daily. Whatever county you live in can help you at County Mental Health.

Thanks, Prof. John Schlitz Kitchin, psychology, Milwaukee Free University - - - By the way, I do not treat schizophrenia cases, because there is nothing that works in the long run.

♦

He e-mailed me objecting to being called crazy due to his hallucinations, and I assured him that he is not crazy. He says he has symptoms of autism, and that might be so, but he also has symptoms of schizophrenia, and that is going to be a much larger problem in the long run. I wrote:

You are not insane. And, you do probably do have Asberger's, a type of autism. But you also apparently have schizophrenia, best guess, and that is a much bigger problem. Not just the ghosts, but the criminal activity, clonazapam, jail, hallucinations, and so on. Treatment is often by chlorpromazine, but that is not nice. ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) can also be used. I avoid trying to even help when I cannot be of any help, and I cannot help you. Sorry.

I've decide that my major is going to be Psychiatry?

Should I double major? If so, with what?
What minors should I take?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I wanted to become a psychiatrist, but that requires medical school in the US, and getting into one for your MD degree is a matter of money, fame, wealth, social class, and mafia connections. No dice. So, I went into psychology. And, there is a branch of psych which deals with medicine, called psycho pharmacology. (I thought that was one word, but the Spelll Checker disagrees.) As for minors, the most important things you can take are Psychology, Sociology, and Communications (Interpersonal). Those are toolkit items for psychiatry. I actually do psychiatric work, prescriptions and all, nowadays, but not much. Prof. John Kitchin, Psychology, nz9f.com

How do i flirt with my boyfriend?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

You sound so young and sweet you bring back memories for me. The trick in flirting is to know what it is, and never be shy. Touch his shoulder gently. Smile. Kiss his cheek. Give him a hug. None of flirting is sexual. All of us flirt with others, even married people flirt with someone who is not their spouse. Why? It tells people that we are not going to hurt them, or kill them and eat them. We come from a very violent bunch of apes, famous for wars and stuff. Flirting is being cutsie, and we all enjoy it. You can flirt by what you wear, how you sit, even your perfume. Have fun with it. It is okay to flirt with everyone, but with a boyfriend or girlfriend, well, you can get a little more risque. Massage his back and neck. More adult people would add sexual things after boyfriend-girlfriend flirting, but you did not ask about that. prof. John Schlitz Kitchin, psychology

Explain this dis-believers and those who do not believe in reincarination....?

Skepics and those that do not believe in reincarnation argue that there is no proof. While i BEG to differ:

Closed minded people will argue -- that is silly, that makes no sense, it is fraud, etc,

Kind of like people from long ago arguing the world is flat. Oh well -- believe in what you want. My motive is to point out to people that think we are only a collection of brain cells that they are too closed minded. Way more evidence that there is more than there is nothing once this life is over.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

All religious leaders, who have been to a seminary and studied for their "Rev." title are familiar with the fact that reincarnation is true. The reason that 2 religions, Christianity and Judaism, do not tell people about that is twofold: First of all, religious leaders want to control you by telling you lies that they KNOW are lies, regarding heaven and hell. Secondly, if you knew about reincarnation, you might ask the question how it works, which is something we Rev.s all know, but an even bigger secret. Most Rev.

How do you increase your self-esteem and confidence?

A friend of mine is having trouble being comfortable in his own skin and I want to give him some tips. What can you give me?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Everyone needs to do something unusual in order to feel good themselves. I once almost committed suicide because I saw no reason that I should be around, and, putting that by my fellow psychologists, no one else could give me a reason to be here, either. So I looked around, and, in the end, we each make our own reason to be here. One of the things I found is this website, where I can share info like this with you. It makes me feel important, and that is what self-esteem is all about. Understand? No one pays me a nickel, but that is even better. I will be moving this to a different Yahoo! network in their News Dept. that actually pays me, but that is only because I am destitute and poor. My call would be to work for free. Cannot do it. So, here is the plan: Your friend is to volunteer for any cause at all out there, for 30 days of giving them free help. People will be met that give your friend contacts, networking, and, all of those people are sharing enough to be a volunteer, not a selfish person. And, of course, there is a lot of confidence and self worth that go with same. After 30 days, possibly switch to a different cause. Prof. John Kitchin, Psychology.

I'm on the 20mg Prozac for Social Anxiety..it does nothing? Can I take 2 20mg prozac pills on the same day?

If I take 2 20mg prozacs at the same time...would anything happen? Like heart burn or anything bad?? I don't see my pshchartrist for another 3-4 weeks and i'm sick of this social anxiety crap.

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Prozac is a very good drug, comparatively, and has a maximum daily dose for a 200-pound adult of 80 mg. a day. IT TAKES THREE WEEKS FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN AT ALL, because it needs to accumulate in your brain, first. 20 is a low dose, really, and will not do much, but your shrink can be called or emailed about it. You have a good doctor, because there is so much crap out there that will warp your head, and he or she has you on good stuff that will actually help. Most shrinks take the bribe money for prescribing shit, and just shut up about the kickbacks. Prof. John Kitchin, Psychology (including the psychology of pharmacy)

What are some common psychological traits of adult survivors of sexual abuse?

Or behavioral traits? And any difference between those of a one-time rape victim and a victim of a prolonged molestation?

And I meant CHILD or TEENAGE abuse by the way.

Contributing In: Psychology

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Difficulty forming interpersonal relationships, particularly romantic. Difficulty understanding people. Blaming themselves, although they have no blame in it. Depression (anger directed inwardly), Bipolar Disorder (manicdepression, a see-saw of mood swings with both depression and manic, or giddy and noncaring moments). Feelings of negative self worth. A one-time rape victim has an easier time of it, but not always, and the traits are the same. Prof. John Kitchin, psychology, nz9f.com

Do women have more submissive sexual fantasies than men?

Is this stereotype indeed true? I am a woman and I seem to have more dominating fantasies than submissive ones although usually in many places it is mentioned that women mostly love to be submissive while men only like to perform.

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I let this one go for two days, but since there are no other answers, here goes: As far as I know, we do not know. As a male, my sex fantasies are to have a woman that is dancing with me in public take off her top in front of everyone, and wiggle her breasts for me, in an attempt to excite me cave-man style. (Hardly dominating!) And, I always wanted sex with two women at the same time, but ran into a bisexual female couple who frequently liked to do a 3-way with me (had enuf of that!) That could be considered somewhat dominant. Another fantasy is for a significant other to be wearing an excessively short and loose skirt, sitting, and when I try to look up her dress, she spreads her legs, giving me a better view. I then notice that she isn´t wearing any panties. But, then, I´m her boyfriend or husband, anyway! Most of my fantasies have to do with a woman important to me wearing an excessively sheer blouse in public, and no bra. None of these is particularly dominant. So, are your fantasies as a female more or less dominant than my male ones? Prof. John Kitchin

What is the judicial branch of government trying to accomplish??please read!!!!?

how do they accomplish it? and why do they accomplish it?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The Judicial Branch is the court system, and they try to do several things. First of all, they try to find out what a law is supposed to really mean. Secondly, they try to find out what the truth is, in a case of personal injury, crime, and even an inheritance. Third, and most importantly, they are the only check and balance (besides the press) upon the government itself committing abuses. If the police go crazy and attack people for no reason, do you call the police? If senators get bought off and create crazy laws, now what? If someone gets a law passed calling for the Death Penalty for unpaid parking tickets, it is the Judicial System that will not allow same.

How do I get a traumatizing moment out of my mind?

Last night, I was in a car crash. The car hit the median, and then the car rolled. It keeps repeating in my head over and over again. I can't sleep, because I fear I'll have a nightmare. Any help?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Having a nightmare, plus sleeping with a nightmare or not, is your brain´s way of compensating for the problem. Take a sleeping pill, relax every muscle in your body, and rest. When you wake up, meditate. You don´t know how? What´s wrong with schools out there, and why do they not teach meditation? Meditation is best in a quiet place, where you try to absorb the love that is in the air. Hugs work really well, too, for traumatic memories. The other thing is to keep yourself too busy to think about it. Go out to a shopping mall, watch some you-tube, or get together with friends.

Is being a female stripper dangerous?

And can a stripper undress all the way til theres nothing and if yes can they give a nude lap dance.
Also what else can a stripper do physically??
10 points to who ever answers all 4 questions the best

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The law varies in each and every community in the world, except wherever a country wanted it to be the same, nationwide. Strippers make a lot of money, often fifty dollars an hour or more, but they do get stalked, attacked, raped, and worse. Some get killled. Places in the United States allow anyone, male or female, to get completely naked as long as no alcohol is served. Nudity is protected under Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. I go to nude beaches all the time, and people there wear absolutely nothing. There are also bars in San Diego that offer complete nudity but do not sell alcohol. And, here, they can do a nude lap dance provided they do not touch the customer physically. In Nevada, they can touch, too, and some places permit both nudity and alcohol in the same bar. Strippers in Tijuana are permitted to dance naked in public, provided they are in an indoor area, secure from the eyes of children. As to what else strippers can do, that is different in every city in the world. Professor John Kitchin, NZ9F.com

What is the difference between Psychopaths and Sociopaths?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The short answer is that sociopaths cannot get along with other people, while psychopaths cannot even get along with themselves! So, it is obvious which is worse. Dumbshit + Sociopath = Psychopath. You can get either from genetics, or abuse, or really bad luck. You can also get healed by a therapist, and that is what we do for a living. Neat, eh? Not feeling emotion can be either, or both. Most will never harm anybody, nor themselves, either. And, we all have a tiny bit of that in us, but not enough to worry about or cause any problems for ourselves or others. Just makes us wonder once in awhile "What the hell was I thinking?" They have no more nor less regard to human life than you or I. They just do not understand the rules for other people, nor the rules for how to behave, or they are not able to follow those rules.

So theres alot of sociopaths out there then?

Just been doing a bit of reading and looking at many people ive met, been friends with and even family members brings me to think that so many of us have it to some degree. or is it just me?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Every human being has at least a little bit of sociopath in them, unfortunately, but hopefully not too much. Genetic Memory, also called talent or instinct, has memories of our ancestors in our heads. 99% of DNA is memory molecules and only 1% is the blueprint to build you as an organism. When you are born, you already contain a great deal of memory. Some of that memory dealt with having to kill Saxon Warriors who were invading, or stampeding buffalo off a cliff to make beef jerky. Humans come from a very violent past, and sometimes even need to be violent to survive today.

How did you overcome your parents ovetbearing nature?

I am a senior going off to college this year and going to live in a dorm. I am crazy excited to get out from under my parents overprotecting gaze, but I am worried the affect it will have on me socially. To give you an idea of how protective they are i'll list some examples: couldn't be at home alone until I was 13, no boyfriend, I started losing friends because I was only let out with friends my parents knew and if it was at the movies or mall, couldn't hang out with friends by myself until 9th grade, and can't let friends drive me anywhere. Because of this I have drifted off from friends and don't bothing with making new friends knowing that no relationship will form.

What i'm asking is have you ever experienced this? Not to the point of every detail, but have you felt socially inept to the point of no return? I want things to change. There is a part of me that feels, this socially awkward and confined person is not who I am. I love meeting knew people, having conversations, and new experiences, but I always hold back. If you ever felt like this, what did you do to help overcome it? If you have an opinion please share, but don't bother saying to talk with my parents and work it out because believe me I have tried and they don't get it or seem to care. Thank you for reading :)

Allow me to chuckle a bit. I got away from my parents by going to college. Just have a little patience. The school I went to served beer via SportService in the auditorium-sized classrooms, had sections of the library with low shelves to facilitate having sex, and way more. Are you in for a social awakening! Try volunteering for something, anything, because it puts you in contact with caring people who volunteer for stuff. Most people are too selfish. Talking to your parents will be easier after the first semester. For now, your roommates are all contacts for getting guys and more friends, plus even the people in the Student Union can be okay. Try going into a bar or restaurant secretly in cahoots (cooperation) with 5 other females that nobody there knows are in on you 6 being together. Help each other. "Her? Well she is..."

How do I get rid of this addiction with porn?Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

All addictions are crutches, and all addictions are the same thing, unless they involve a drug that causes permanent damage or physical addiction. Addiction to porn is the same thing as alcoholism, or compulsive gambling, or tobacco addiction. Heroin is a bit more complicated, but basically the same thing. What you need to do is to substitute one addiction for another. So, you drink lots of coffee instead of eating 200 sweetrolls (food addiction). Find something that you like to do. Chess is an addiction, and so is needlework. My addiction is doing exactly what I am doing right now, which is blogging. I used to use booze. Prof. John Kitchin, Psychology

What is Liquid cocaine?

I know that theres the liquid cocaine which is an alcoholic drink/shot, but what is exactly liquid cocaine to drugs? I first heard of it when Kid Cudi got arrested with it. What exactly is it?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Cocaine comes from the coca bush, which grows only above 7,000 feet (several kilometers) in elevation, usually in the mountains of South America, although some people say they have seen it in Montana, USA. Natives chew the leaves, which are legal there (most of South America, not Montana) but that is weak. Concentrating the cocaine from the leaves involves dissolving it in ether, a solvent, soaking the leaves in same. The leaves are removed, leaving behind the cocaine. Then, this liquid cocaine, which is cocaine plus ether, is evaporated until it gets concentrated. More than one movie star has accidentally ignited liquid cocaine, which is extremely flammable. Liquid cocaine can be made into regular water-based coke, or converted to crack for smoking. It is a nasty drug to get addicted to, but easier to quit than tobacco. Prof. John Kitchin, NZ9F.com

Ancient Pagans, and to some extent the Wiccans too, deal with the Old Religion, 15,000 years old minimum, where all of those (and other) myths were born. Only a Bishop may speak or blog about beliefs, but I was elected one over 20 years ago. I have a book chapter on Paganism in my book on Autism, NZ9F.com/R, and the National Association is at www.CircleSanctuary.org. The most famous spokesperson is Rev. Selena Fox, another Bishop, who holds workshops. Here in San Diego, we traditionally have held ceremonies involving drinking alcohol, dancing nude, and building a big bonfire in a safe area. Other than those unusual things, plus the fact that we gather only outdoors and not in a church, this is pretty close to any other church. Books: Drawing Down The Moon, by Margot Adder.

What kinds of things did the early trade federations work for? Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Capitalism has long had the problem that the Ruling Class, which owns the factories, wants to buy cheap labor and enslave everyone. So, the workers formed labor unions, such as the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). The Depression of the 1930s, which was almost as severe as the current George W. Bush Great Depression that we are currently experiencing, involved labor using guns to oppose the guns used by the factory owners to hold people into slavery. Adolph Hitler was one of the primary anti-labor leaders in europe, and in the United States, the labor movement founded a brand new political party, the Democrats. Prof. John Kitchin, nz9f.com Oh, your answer. Housing, fair wages, 40-hour work week unstead of 75, 8 hour workday instead of 12 hours, minimum wage of 50 cents per hour (equivalent to $22 an hour today), union wage of a dollar an hour (equivalent to $44 an hour today) and that stuff
