Will suboxone relieve pain ?
I have been taking opiod pain killers for almost 10 years. I never abused it though, I always took one pill every 4-6 hours no more than 4 a day. I started to realize 2 years ago that I was abusing it when moderate pain killers such as loratab vicodin ect. was no longer available and all I could find was morphine. It didn't take long before i knew I had a problem so I quit cold turkey. It was hell but I stopped and survived on aleive and sometimes my doctor would give me tramadol. But then I broke my feet and later had to have surgery and I was prescribed vicodin for a few months. Now I am buying them again illegally and I want my pain to be treated by a doctor but I can't afford the imaging that needs to be done and the visits to pain management. So if I go on suboxone and take alieve will that at least leave me comfortable and productive?

is it illegal to buy this and will i be watched?
i want to buy bowls and bongs online because i want to collect them. i want the best and coolest to add to my collection and the headshops around me suck. im pretty sure its not illegal to buy bongs and bowls online (feel free to let me know if im right or not about this).
but i saw an anwer on yahoo answers from this guy that said if you buy things like that online then your name will go on a "possible drug users" list. and the more you buy the more the feds will be up your ***. is this true??
what if ONLY the government sold marijuana as if it were alcohol?
then the government would get 100% of the profits. it would just yknow, have to be sold in an honorable way since its the government. I was also thinking of extremely strictly selling cocaine too, because drugs are the the terrorists' money. if we remove their ability to sell drugs, what else will they have? the coke would have to be EXTREMELY controlled and monitored, so humans cant get addicted and its not suepr dangerous. like 2 highs, 2 weeks. it'd get ppl to buy it legally and 100% safely from the government. it'd get the $$ and the dealers would have to counter it somehow, if they could.
i like what you said ugly truth, but I mostly meant central american terrorists a.k.a. cartels. and some taliban heroine comes through america too.

Why husband masturbates instead of having sex with wife?
Ok, so my husband has not had sex with me for a long time. When he does, he doesn't seem to enjoy it. Supposedly he can't have an erection so he uses Cialis or Viagra in order to have sex with me so whenever I show some initiative he rejects me and says he can't do it. He is 45 and currently under a lot of stress. My sexual frustration leads to arguments so he says he doesn't feel "sexy". But he admits he masturbates and I think he does it regularly. I haven't seen him do it so have no idea what turns him on cause he won't tell me anything. Moreover, he never climaxed in my presence and he doesn't like talking about this. When I ask him about having children, his standards answer is "It's not the right time now. I love you and we'll figure something out." What's going on? How can I find out the truth? This situation drives me crazy. Perhaps we should go to a doctor? What kind of doctor? Any ideas?
erection problems (?) at 19?
hey everyone, I want some opinions on the (possible?) issue I am facing.. I became sexually active about 4 months ago. me and my girlfriend are both 19. when we began I was taking finasteride (propecia) prescribed by my dermatologist for preventing the hereditary hairloss that seems to start with all the guys in my family around this age. the first time we had sex I noticed I wasn't as hard as I've been before. and after we had sex once I was just hard enough to have sex a second time. I emailed a doctor online and he said to discontinue use of propecia. so I did. after that I was able to go twice without a problem. my only concern is the refractory period between. I hear the average for guys my age is 15 mins...
I usually take about 45 mins before I can get hard again.
and if I ever go a third time we end up waiting an hour or more... I have emailed a few doctors the same thing... well, maybe a little more in depth. and 2 said it's normal, 1 said to go to a urologist because it's abnormal..... anyone have any advice? anyone have the same problem? thanks everyone!
haha
thanks TX
