Can you take Elavil in place of Paxil?

It depends on which other medications you are on. Elavil (amitriptyline) is as effective as Paxil (paroxetine), if dosed properly. However, Elavil is far more anti-cholinergic, meaning that it causes drying of the mucus membranes - and, therefore, constipation, urinary retention, dry skin, dry eyes, and even "dry brain" (which is a medical colloquialism indicating for poor concentration and short-term memory, and even confusion) could occur - especially when any dehydration might occur. Elavil is also more cardiotoxic, and has far more interactions with other drugs and medications, than Paxil (or other SSRI antidepressants). Check with your prescribing physician before making this very significant kind of change in your medication regimen.

Do you have any withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking Methadone?

Oh wow! THat is an easy answer, absolutely yes! The severity of the withdrawals symptoms depends on how long you have been taking the methadone. If you have just taken it once, (which is highly dangerous, deadly even) then you should not have any withdrawals that you notice from the methadone. However, if you had been using heroin and then used methadone for one time, you will still have another day or two, depending again on how long you have been taking the other opiate such as heroin, of withdrawals. Now, if you have been on methadone for an extended period of time, say two weeks to a month, you will have withdrawals that are a bit stronger than heroin. However, if you have been taking methadone, either prescribed or otherwise, for longer than 2-3 months, you can guarantee that you are going to go through some horrid withdrawals. If you know what its like to come off of heroin or the strong pain pills, this withdrawal is about ten times that. It is way longer and way more intense. Let me give you my example, I was on methadone while I was pregnant, about 6 months, and then I got off of it about 2 months after he was born, so a total of 8 months, approximately. I even detoxed in 30 days from 65 mgs. I did not feel like myself again for at least 6 months after, and at first I could not eat or sleep, I lay there staring at the ceiling, but I couldn't stay still because it felt like my nerves were being tickled at all times. THat was the torturous part about it, the nerves. I puked and had diarrhea for the first couple weeks, and about a month into it the worst of it lessened. However, the nerves part of it and depression, so many things held me down. It was really bad, and I hated every second of it. I am on methadone maintenance again, and I am so scared of the time I will get off it. It has been a blessing for me this time, though, because I haven't used in 2 years and I started working toward my degree a little over a year ago and I'm still going strong. I have a muich better relationship with my kids and my family now, and Im looking for a job now that I know I can hold one. Methadone Maintenance can be a blessing for the right people.

Can you test for heroin from bloody cotton ball?

heroin is cooked into a liquid form in a spoon and then sucked up through a needle, often using q tips or cotton balls as a 'filter' for the heroin, the blood on the cotton ball could have been some of the blood that got into the needle when the person injected themselves, meaning they most likely sucked up heroin through the cotton ball so i'd guess you could test it for heroin.
