> OVer look the overdose- know your dose
Anyone who makes this statement has never been there. Tolerance is a funny thing, ask a real addict and not a misinformed soul and you will see. Tolerance does build, but a real addict knows all too well tolerance is never static.
It comes and goes without reason. Why in all hell
do you think seasoned addicts OD ? It is not usually because they go extra strong drugs, it is for whatever reason, having gotten used to a high dose (they were stupid enough to think they "knew" their limit), the built up tolerance dropped and they OD, black out, or if they are lucky, pass out.In truth "Social phobia" seems a problem rooted in psychology and those seeking addictive drugs for it are doing just that, "drug seaking". I just do not see SP as a wholly organic in cause, unless it is secondary to a personality, thought or other diorder. Thearpy is the treatment, though meds may help. Demanding the treatment be numbing drugs seems like one is totally avoiding the psychological problem at hand. I feel one has gone far beyond "treatment" and right into "lets get high". Calling it "treatment" while giving directions to go to Mexico to get Mophine Sulphate seems way far away from thearpy.
