Dopamine Crisis

Quite concerned about our communities! Harm reduction works!

The use of Opioid Agonist Treatment is NOT replacing one drug with another. Say it with me: OAT is NOT replacing one drug for another! #Methadone #Suboxone #opioidcrisis

BREAKING: The province of Nova Scotia is slated to become the first jurisdiction in Canada to have automatic organ donation, unless an individual opts-out. Today the government introduced a new bill, laying out the framework of the law.

@RyanMarino Much respect Ryan. I work on the pharmacy side and the stories I hear push me to do more and advocate more; today and young girl told me that she is sleeping in random cars over night to stay warm bc no support from family. Shelters are full :(

The role of a pharmacist that works with patients with substance use disorder becomes evident when a patient is relapsing! The therapeutic relationship fostered over time allows us 2 notice behavioral changes so we help advocate & address the Bio Psych Social which r contributing

@Doctors_NS @StanKutcher Pathologizing normal physiological responses is dangerous; so is trivializing concerning symptoms.

@Jemc613 @medicalaxioms Substance use disorder is a behavioural disorder. I've seen people miss 3 consecutive doses, lose their tolerance, begin injecting again and OD; also seen pulmonary embolism from injection leading to death, cardiac arrythmias, begin using cocaine, get hiv and hepatitis etc

Things that release #Dopamine will control or reinforce your behavior ... nicotine, sex,food, pot, opioids, religion, social media, alcohol, exercise, cocaine, amphetamines, mediation, & music all release dopamine.Which one is/are your "addiction" #hatethatword #LetsTalk #Stigma

My uncle & I were on the beach years ago & there were hundreds of starfish on the shore. He picked 1 up & threw it back into the ocean. I asked him what difference did that make... he said "It made a difference to that starfish now didnt it." #mentalhealthishealth #Addiction

I need some advice. Had two patients cheek their medications for methylphenidate today & their physicians didnt change or cancel meds.Enabling is not helping? Lets find out why, discuss, learn & then move forward together. Recovery is not a straight line! #Methadone #EndOverdose

@mammolitiward7 U are reinforcing the stigma. A little education will do you some good ie 250k Canadians have Hepatitis C. #Harmreduction & safe inj along with education & action will help our communities & save lives ... also save $$ (I am sure this is a moot point in your eyes) #tongueincheek

[Dopamine Crisis @rx_help]

Children are particularly vulnerable to harms of long-term drug therapies and there should be a higher level of evidence of effectiveness to justify their use.

[Dopamine Crisis @rx_help]

There is convincing evidence that a proportion of boys and girls treated with stimulants in BC and around the world are simply the youngest in their class.
