Facts

  • In late 2003 researchers found at least 93 cases of babies who were experiencing neonatal convulsions and withdrawal symptoms because their mothers had used antidepressants while carrying the baby to term.
  • PCP affects the levels of dopamine in the brain, a natural chemical in the body which is responsible for the euphoria and "rush" associated with many abused drugs.
  • Whether a drug addicted individual stays in drug rehab depends on many factors including motivation to change behavioral patterns and the degree of support offered from family and friends. This often frequently includes pressure from the criminal justice system, child protection services, employers or family.
  • Opana is estimated to be anywhere from five to eight times more powerful than morphine.
