Facts
- Methamphetamine is similar in structure to the brain chemical dopamine, the brain's pleasure transmitter, which is what causes neurons to release large amounts of dopamine which produce a high.
- Risks associated with Ativan withdrawal including grand mal seizures and death show that use of the drug should be discontinued very slowly with medical supervision and over a prolonged period of time.
- There are many other types of steroids aside from anabolic steroids that are legally available in the United States, such as cortisol and estrogen which have the effect of building muscle and are not harmful.
- Proponents of methadone maintenance often state that patients receiving treatment are "dependent" on the medication, not "addicted".

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and difficult experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone and how long the person has been using methadone, the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of stopping all at once.
