Question by *TiGeR MoTh*: when someone is addicted to something does it have a chemical mechanism?
Like when some one is addicted to drugs, does it have a chemical mechanism, or is it because that person mind got use to that??

Best answer:

Answer by GattacaAmbition
The short answer is yes. Most literature on the subject now differentiates between physical and psychological addiction. Both in a way involve chemical signaling.

With a physical addiction, chronic use of the substance in question causes physical withdrawal signs in the absence of the drug. The body tries to keep certain parameters roughly stable (e.g. blood pressure, brain activity, hormone levels) and many drugs depress or elevate these processes. Thus if you suddenly stop, the body has already adjusted to having the drug. The severity of these effects varies with the drug used.

Question by mynamehere: what is stronger phenozepam or clonazepam?
i am having trouble sleeping and withdrawls from a narcotic, need to sleep, anyone know enough about the drugs to give me details please?

Answer by Druggity
I believe you are referring to “Phenazepam” which is a benzodiazepine (also called “benzo”) psychoactive drug with diazepine’s sedative, hypnotic and sleep-inducing qualities. This drug has been known to cause amnesia, aggression & behavioral disinhibition (lack of social restraint). This benzo works by depressing the central nervous system. Average phenazepam dosages are 0.5 mg 2-3 times daily. The maximum daily dosage must not exceed 10 mg.
Be careful using Phenazepam as severe withdrawal symptoms may occur including restlessness, anxiety, insomnia and convulsions.

Clonazepam, also called Klonopin is another benzo with highly potent muscle relaxant, and anxiolytic properties. it is usualy only prescribed for the type of insomnia where you wake up too early but otherwise sleep well. It has a long half-life which can leed to next day effects.
