The Warning Signs Of Nembutal Addiction or Abuse

There's  a lot of hidden drug abuse amongst our younger generation and for the most part their parents are completely unaware it's happening. Much of this drug abuse takes place away from the home, in the homes of friends, at school, or sometimes while parents are working. Parents these days, are strongly advised to keep abreast of all the local, and national, drugs of choice for teenage children. It's important that parents study and know all the signs of drug abuse, it may one day save the life of one of their children, or the child of a friend. According to national statistics the most the commonly abused drugs are alcohol, tobacco, prescription medications, steroids, coke, heroin, meth, pot, and a slew of others. There are quite a variety of different symptoms of these drugs, and they're not always outwardly evident.   Let's take a look at just one such drug called Nembutal,  which is a Central Nervous System (CNS) depressant,  meaning that it depresses central the nervous system in order to remedy sleep disorders, mostly the inability to fall asleep, but sometimes panic attacks, or stress attacks.

These types of drugs supposedly can only be had with a prescription from a licensed physician, however, not only are there doctors selling prescriptions on the side, but there are also counterfeit prescriptions and stolen medications available on the street as well. These types of central nervous system depressants  can be the cause of dangerous overdoses and eventual addiction. The typical length of time for a physical dependence to take place with these kinds of prescription medications can range from three weeks to a couple of months, thereafter needing a very painful withdrawal in a facility.

Symptoms to watch for would be paranoid feelings, extremely slow heartbeat, a compulsive personality change and sometimes coma or death.   Other less serious side effects could include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and sweating even during cold weather.  Quitting one of these central nervous system depressants can be quite difficult without admission to a treatment center. In a treatment center there are special medications available that can decrease the desire for the addictive drug, plus lessen the pain and suffering of withdrawal. And in addition, there are trained drug counselors and usually on staff nurses in case of medical emergencies. To find out more, check online for a drug abuse counseling center in your area.
