addiction
Question:
Hey I have been an inhalant user for ten years. Proventil , albuterol, etc. My problem is this In the Past I would use my inhaler more and more over the years until It got to the point that I was realy afraid to leave the house without it. Small attacks would occur throught out the day But if I ever went off the medication for more than 3 days I would be physcially sick. You might think this was all in my head but its not. Since then I havce put my self through withdrawal 5 times. The first two months afterwards is the worst. But after that It began to be all up hill. My craving would go away. I even rember times when I would scour the house for just one puff. I felt like a drug addict. I do not smoke , use drugs, and even though I dont like drinking I have a drink once every 6months If I go to a club etc. Even now my problem Is that when I come down with the flu, or a heavy cold. I am force to use the medication now and again. Pills dont work. Niether does "herbal remidies" This time I am back on inhalors. And its getting harder to break the habit. I notice i have excessive mucus inch balls of green slimy uch! I hope to hear If other people Have had an addiction problem with inhalors. I took many year for me to admit this problem. I though that it was all part of the asthma.

Your asthma is badly out of control. You need to see your doctor and get your treatment program changed. >every 6months If I go to a club etc. Even now my problem Is that when I >come down with the flu, or a heavy cold.

I don’t think that your problem is addiction. I suspect that your asthma is worse than you suspect or that you may have another underlying medical problem which is making matters worse. You should see your doctor as soon as possible and explain your symptoms. ‘Reply to’ address changed to foil email spammers.

Here is a quote from my favorite asthma book, ‘The Asthma Sourcebook’ by Francis Adams, MD, c96 "Are Asthma Medications Addictive? Many patients fear they will become addicted to their asthma medications and be unable to stop their use. This may partly be due to dependence on medication for the relief of symptoms and attacks. This fear of addiction may explain why some patients do not take their medications. There is no evidence of the development of addiction to asthma medications. When good control of asthma is achieved it is often possible to reduce or discontinue medication that is no longer needed. However, good control must come first since withdrawal of medication may In the case of systemic corticosteroids, the management of reduction and withdrawal of these agents must be closely supervised in view of possible adrenal insufficiency. Patients with severe asthma may become ’steroid dependent’ for control of their disease but that does not represent an addiction to medication." I recommend you buy the asthma book and become better educated on the subject. Its normal for asthmatics to carry an inhaler like Proventil (albuterol) with them when they go out, to use when needed. A good way to tell when you need medications is to use a Peak Flow Meter to monitor your lung function. When it goes below 80% of personal best you need more medication. (all described in the book) This isn’t addiction. Its similar to how a diabetic measures his blood sugar to adjust his insulin dose.

I found freezing them inconvenient (what if the emergency happened and I wasn’t close to my freezer?). However, you can always wrap them in duct tape. I found the effort of unwrapping them (along with some embarasment) was an adequate deterent to impulse buying. Keep in mind that the duct tape can cause damage to the magnetic strip, this lessens their ability to be used at money machines, but most people are able to key in the number so they can still be used at locations where you are dealing with people. Then take a small amount of CASH into the bike store so you will be able to control the maximum amount of damage prior to losing control. Aaron

Sure. Just throw out and mail order catalogs before you read them, and get rid of your credit cards. A good way to get rid of your credit cards is to freeze them in a block of ice and put it all the way in the back of your freezer. That way, you’ll have them for emergencies (no, needing a new crankset just because it looks better than the one you have now is NOT an emergency).

I think the only option is to let this disease run its course. Once you own one or two of everything in the shop, you’ll be cured. Annual relapses may occur, coinciding with the introduction of new stuff. Stefan Get out of the House!! __ / (*)_/ |_ (*) /o ^
