Question by Amy: How do I tell my parents that I didn’t pass any of my classes this semester?
For reference, I am a junior at a commuter college and decided to take all of my classes online this semester. The lack of structure and freedom was really, REALLY bad for a procrastinator like me, and I wasn’t self-disciplined enough to keep myself on track.
I feel horrible that I’ve let myself and my parents down, but I intend on finishing college and doing infinitely better next semester. How do I tell them all of this in a coherent way?

Question by Jasmine: What Exactly Happens In Drug Rehab?
I’m writing a short story for a school assignment and it’s about a teen going to rehab for heroin addiction. Obviously in order to write this I need a little insight on what it would actually be like to be in rehab. Like what do they make you do right when you check yourself in, and what activities or therapies would you partake in, daily? Also what rules and such do patients need to follow. If anyone could give me any insight or share your rehab stories I would really appreciate it.

Answer by Artur
Rehabs can vary from something spa like to something resembling a psych ward. Either way, they train your focus away from outside matters onto almost strictly you and your inner issues and addictions. I should be able to offer in-depth details for you, but it’s kind of depressing for me at this point in life. The success rate is actually pretty low for these treatments, though they are helpful in getting connected to what one will need to know in order to recover.

Question by Chris the 4th: How do I find out if I have Cognitive dysfunction or brain fog?
I use to be sharp and smart. I graduated early when i was 16 by getting much more credits. Anyway the last few years I seem to have lost my sharpness. But it comes and goes. Sometimes I am but most of the time seems like I am not. I am forgetful and sometimes something will be right in front of me but i cant find it. I also take 6 percoset a day so this may have something to do with it. Also I feel tired a lot.

Hi. The following is an extract from the Internet (no wonder you feel tired and light-headed!):

‘Percocet, or oxycodone with acetaminophen, is a narcotic used to treat pain. The acetaminophen actually boosts the potency of the oxycodone and makes the drug all the more dangerous. It is habit-forming, so its use should be monitored closely by doctors. Percocet should not be used in instances where people are expected to be alert, mainly while driving and working. Percocet does have side effects, but it is usually tolerated quite well by users with minimal or no side effects as users become more used to the drug.

Allergic Reactions
Allergic reactions with Percocet include unexplained rashes, hives, swelling of the face, throat or mouth, and difficulty breathing, including wheezing. Itching must be accompanied by at least one or more other signs to be a true allergic reaction. According to an eMEDTV July 7, 2008 article, “Percocet Side Effects,” authors Kristi Monson, Pharm.D. and Arthur Schoenstadt, M.D., write that initial feelings of nausea, vomiting or itching may lead people to believe that they are allergic to Percocet. However, that is not the case, as the nausea and vomiting usually dissipates with continued use of Percocet. The itching, as long as it is unaccompanied by other allergic reactions, is just a side effect of opiates, which release histamine.

Common Side Effects
The most common side effects of Percocet does not require medical attention unless the user finds that these side effects are interfering with his daily routine or functioning. Common side effects include vertigo or feeling lightheaded, drowsiness and fatigue, constipation, unexplained euphoria or dysphoria, itching and nausea with possible vomiting.

Serious Side Effects
Serious side effects do not occur often, but when they do, it is essential to seek medical treatment immediately. Upper right abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or dark urine are all signs of liver damage. The urge to take more Percocet than prescribed is a sign of addiction. Other side effects include confusion, anxiety or panic, constipation, shallow breathing, difficulty passing urine or decreased urination, fainting and drowsiness.

Other Side Effects
Some side effects reported by individuals while taking Percocet do not necessarily pose a threat to the majority of the population that take prescription Percocet on a daily basis. The FDA maintains a hotline to call if someone wishes to report a side effect they have experienced with prescriptions that is unique and does not apply to usual side effects. These side effects include low or high blood pressure, fatigue and drowsiness, thirst, migraines, irregular heartbeats, sweating, convulsions, dehydration, heartburn or indigestion, diarrhea, hearing loss, dry mouth, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), low or high blood sugar, red eyes, and flushing of the skin (“blushing”).

Conclusion
Percocet is a useful pill for pain management. However, it should be used with care since it traps users in an addiction and tolerance if used incorrectly. Users should contact their doctors if they become worried about the side effects of Percocet that they are experiencing. Overdoses of Percocet can destroy the liver quickly, and addicts should be aware of all of the side effects of the drug.’

I think you need to speak to your Doctor, see if this is the appropriate meds for you and your situation now.

Good luck.
