Addict Mother Puts Her Kid in Danger | Chicago Med

[@Orinatl]

This is a very realistic issue. Lots of people’s drug additions start with prescription abuse-or a lack of monitoring for those who have NEVER been exposed to addictive drugs before. There needs to be better monitoring-it ruins so many lives.

[@tomd96]

That's the thing, the system expects you to report issues to the doctor yourself, there must be some kind of follow-up check up or something for that kinda thing.

yup ive had this codeine phosphate, I legit rang my doctors about the amount i was taking and needing to take for my pain and got ignored until someone came to do a check on the practice and they came down on me luckily i was able to somewhat handle the lower dosage im in a lot of pain every day but ive kept away from other drugs.

[@Orinatl]

@@bryanscott9770 I know you’re trolling, but I thought I’d explain for the children. Doctors are here to keep you healthy and out of harm. If they give you drugs that can be highly additive even when taken correctly, they should still have an admin checking up with you consistently to make sure you are taking the proper amount, and weening off them at the correct time. Better then that, if you are showing any signs of continued pain, that require a long term exposure, you should be partnered with a psychologist who will help you through and addictive sideeffects that they *know* is likely to follow.

[@susimuller6317]

Well it might be highly addictive to some people, but it also helps great with managing pain. There is a difference between physical and psyhological addiction. Physical addiction, yes it is extremly uncomfortable but you get over it, psychological addiction is a different thing and only occures if you are drawn to addiction in the first place, which luckily I never did. Still it is painfull but I could have never taken the pain without it. Sometimes there are only two options, you take heavy drugs, or you kill yourself because you can't stand the pain anymore. Many times I was on and off opiods in my life and i will continue to be because of my illness, but no withdrawel was ever so worst as the pain i experienced without opioids.

Some people don't get understand that if people with substance dependence don't continue to take 'hits'/doses, it's not that they will just have to 'not get high'. Withdrawal would likely make her an even more absent mother, seizures, pain, tremors, blurred vision, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, delirium, heavy sleeping for long extended periods, and more. Withdrawal comes on quickly and without medical supervision can often lead to death.

Becoming addicted to pain medication is one of my greatest fears. As someone who regularly deals with pain; chronic headaches (both my parents suffer of lots of headaches but for different reasons/causes and I inherited ALL of them, from sinusitis to migraine to hypersensitivity to low frequency sounds), IBS, neuralgia... I only ever took codeine (morphine derived drug) when I was 11 to relieve the pain of shingles. Worst thing is, to this day 13 years later, I still remember how much I LOVED being on those meds. All the pain appeased or even gone. I had never been so comfortable ever. That scares me, the temptation is real... So I stick to over the counter drugs and I try to find alternative methods of relieving the pain. Even if it's not as efficient and even if I'm always somewhat in pain, I'd rather be in control of myself. But, I understand how the relief beckons so sweetly...

I had a doctor who wanted me to take a high dose of benzos every day for weeks. Turns out that stuff will get you addicted really quickly especially at the prescribed dosage. I was more terrified of never being able to get off the meds than my condition at the time, so I never took them. When I told them about what it did to people he said he had never heard of such a thing happening and basically dismissed it. I never went back there again

'Discontinuation Syndrome' is what the doctor said I was going through when coming off an antidepressant. Withdrawal by another name. I know I went through a minor bout, but I wanted it to stop so much, and so I will never judge someone with the bravery to become sober, or someone who feels no other choice to have a break from the pain in their lives.

[@melissaharris3389]

Your treating psychiatrist should have better tapered your dosage and maybe proscribed a 'bridge' antidepressant (sometimes lower dosage but longer acting) to better mange withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal of psychiatrist drugs needs close monitoring as the major effects usually include suicidal thoughts. Glad you managed through it.

[@shennettbassier829]

Honestly I can definately understand her position, I was in a minor accident several years ago, I was prescribed some pain meds, they were so powerful, I felt like I had a blanket over my body constantly, in the mornings at around 10 I became aware of myself being asleep, I remember knowing it was wayyy past the normal time for me to wake up but I just couldn't get up. At around 12-1 I would literally have to use all my will power and energy to drag myself out of bed. I stopped taking them because honestly I could see myself getting addicted. I choose to endure the pain until my body healed. More recently I broke my leg and had a brief bout of anxiety and depression as a result, my docter as kind as he was only gave me small dose of Aloprazam, and recommended meditation and other things to help me calm down and sleep. He said I was way too young to be taking too much of that stuff and I can get addicted easily. I still listen rain sounds before falling asleep at nights. Its hard when you are suffering with pain and the only thing that causes relief can tear your world down

I will be honest, the addiction from prescribed opioid is not common in Europe and as a result barely use as a plot in european series? Why is that? Do nations in Europe have stricter rules or are we just hidden it under the carpet? If it is the former, the US really need to do rights for its people because there are way too much things that does not work in term of health (like the limitation because of you insurance preventing you to see anyone to cure you, cost of treatments etc). I went to the ER because I chopped my finger (nothing big)... the bill was about 70 USD and I got reimbursed about 40 USD by my insurance (and I could go to any hospital)

[@someonerandom8552]

It could be that there is more regulation due to the differing health care services, with there likely being more oversight in national run services (universal health care.) Vs the more varied regulations one may encounter state to state in the US. My country has universal healthcare and whilst opioid abuse is seen as an issue, since there is just one body overall regulating the entire system, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more strictly regulated as a result. But that’s just speculation on my part. Add into that the US seems to treat drug addiction as a legal issue, whereas many other countries treat it as a medical issue first and legal issue second. By that I mean in the US the so called “war on drugs” doesn’t always create environments where addicts can feel safe enough to go to rehab facilities. Fearing legal repercussions. No doubt there are many good drug programs in the US helping people, but there is a more hostile approach to addiction culturally speaking overall. In other countries, drug addiction is often treated by the healthcare system just a general rule. Only resorting to police intervention when absolutely necessary. International studies have shown that the approach of treating addiction as a health issue does seem to yield better results overall. But that’s just my idiot layman understanding.

[@KatZwe]

As far as I know opioids are mostly used for in hospital care or for chronic severe pain. Go to pain relief for at home use would be ibuprofen in different doses. Everything else you (should) only get under close medical monitoring.

[@LaraVlach]

Addiction also happens a lot more where people are trying to treat hopelessness, depression, mental health issues, physical health issues, family concerns, stress, etc, but don’t have the resources or means to address those issues - so when you live in countries where access to health care and health coverage is minimal, there is no parental leave, vacation, sick time, etc, mental health resources are scarce, and there is a punitive mentality, it’s a self-perpetuating problem. Also, the laws and regulations surrounding how drugs can be marketed to patients and to physicians are probably hugely different - and so is the way companies profit.

[@BlockingHD]

From watching dopesick (highly recommended btw) Europe just got lucky as Germany refused to approve Oxy under the ‘less addictive’ label put on by the FDA. Essentially the US allowed it to be given for moderate pain which covered a lot more people, allowing more people to become addicted. This along with heavy and deceptive marketing from Purdue started the epidemic. This is before mentioning the ‘war on drugs’ and treating addiction as a crime and not as a medical issue. It is a really interesting and upsetting topic that I highly recommend looking into.

They should take her kid away in this situation, getting burned by hot water while the mom is passed out is not one of those situations a doctor in a major city would say "oh yeah take your time get better, if it doesn't work out you can always blame me the doctor for helping you." In reality a doctor with common sense would call CPS and APS. In a real life situation it wouldn't be a happy ending.

Well fun fact, this didn’t end happily - the mother went through with the program under sedation, the withdrawal killed her, leaving her kid an orphan. Even less happily than if they’d called CPS

Please someone tell me that the rapid detox worked… at least well enough that she could keep her son. In most cases of parents dealing with addiction… they weren’t this dedicated to their child and this desperate to keep them (out of love, not for their own benefit).

The ones who are on drugs, make it to believable that there not

[@tonykennedy8592]

In fairness Halstead didn't over prescribe. He correctly prescribed a low dose oxy for short term use. As much as I sympathize with addicts (I have dealt with addiction issues myself), its really not be fair on the majority of people who don't get addicted and either need short term pain script or have chronic pain issues.

Yeah. And because of that in Mexico the only way to get that kind of medicine is be a terminal patient... One neighbor broke both legs ... They gave Tylenol to him.

I know with one of my hand operations. I was on oxycodone and I took two today and the doctor said once I found that the pain started subsiding to stop. I found four days later, but the pain was manageable with ibuprofen and I didn’t take the rest of the oxycodone. I don’t know how people get addicted unless they do abuse the drugs. They could be taking triple the amount that they should and get addicted that way. Because I found they just took the pain away and that was it. I didn’t get sleepy. I didn’t get drugged up feeling, I wasn’t high. I know my friend’s daughter who was in a car accident and they put her on oxycodone, and she got addicted. But what I heard is that they get addicted by sniffing up the powder of the pill that they made into a powder instead. I have to go in for another hand operation and I’m hoping that the pain will be manageable so I don’t have to go on anything higher than Tylenol or ibuprofen .

I waws handed a type of pain meds after a surgery. two types actualy. one i didnt really reconize that was to treat headach lvl pain and the secound i did as a addictive pain med drug. told my husband to return it back to the pharmacy due to what it was cuz i wasnt going to risk it. he obliged but i was shocked at what they gave me. while the surgery was invasive, it wasnt that bad. doctors really need to moniter giving these out better
