[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 660875, member: 17461"] We do. It has been such a hard visit. Stolen pain medications, pain, and withdrawal have been the issues of the day all day, every day. We have been limping along trying to do the right things but it has been really hard. Our daughter has been in the beginning phases of withdrawal since she got here, ran out of medicine entirely on the 4th, and has been in intense and increasingly severe withdrawal since. Then last night, daughter abruptly went into the City. She found naloxone. This is a medication given to counter opiate overdose. Taking the naloxone stopped the withdrawal symptoms. Our daughter's posture is different. Her eyes are clear. [I]She is out hiking with her children this morning.[/I] We don't know what to think. Last night, D H and I were certain the 10 o'clock news would come on headlining our daughter. We were telling each other that we were not getting her (really nice) car out of impound or going to visit her in jail and etc. That is the kind of night we had. Other than that I made fried chicken at one grand's request and the other two wouldn't touch it because they are little and only like mac and cheese. :O) It felt like the whole nightmare from three summers ago was happening all over again. Our daughter came home something like four hours later (and that would mean two of those hours were spent driving to and from the City) [I]and she was fine.[/I] [I]And this morning, she is still fine.[/I] This morning, I was making breakfast and commented on how different the energy in the house was and even the seven year old piped up with, "Yeah, Grandma. It feels happy here, this morning." Suboxone, naloxone, and one other medication that starts with a "B" are opiate agonists. (I think that is the word that means a substance that is preferred by opiate receptors to opiates.) These medications stop the opiate high and are given when there is an opiate overdose and the person is in danger of dying. Along with the other ten zillion things we have been learning about everything to do with opiates, naloxone used by someone in withdrawal from an opiate addiction stops the symptoms of withdrawal by filling opiate receptors without providing the opiate high (or the opiate pain relief). It hasn't been 24 hours, yet. Naloxone has a peak effect of 30 to 81 minutes. I will keep you posted. You cannot imagine how rough this visit has been. Cedar [/QUOTE]
