I feel real sad my son is taking all kinds of drugs. Salvia, Ritalin, Weed and Alcohol to name a few. It really snuck up on me and my wife. I suspected for a while but not to this extent. He use to be so loving, caring and friendly. Now everything is the opposite. We are going to be taking him to Drug Counselor next week. I wish it was today but no counselor was able to see him until next week. I always thought we had such a good son. I am really sad for him. He really does not understand how this is effecting his family. I am writing because I really am unsure how to handle this whole mess.

My little brothers wife died during child birth about a month ago he is 24 and she was 22. Well it was a beautiful baby boy and he is so adorable. Well me and my older sister and my parents have been going over a lot to check on the both. He hasn’t really been bonding with his son at all and he often just sleeps for super long periods of time and leaves his son in his crib. I went over today and he was passed out with a few bottles of alcohol next to him and his son was screaming. I am worried about them both to be honest. Well i fed my nephew and got his diaper changed and got him dressed and was cuddling with him when my brother came to and i asked him if he wants me to take his son for awhile so he can work through his grief and he got raging pissed at me and cussed at me and told me to leave and that no one can take his son.I don’t know what to do to be honest i am worried about my nephews safety and well being but my brother wont let me help him out. Advice?

He is 18 , has a good job, but i noticed he was so very happy , more than usual so i checked his room. I didnt have to look far, in his ruck sack i found 5g of coke. I confronted him and he told me it was not his but he was looking after it for a friend.. I expected him to say that, anyway he swore he is not on drugs. So i ordered some drug testing kits ion line and asked him to give me a urine sample, he did this no problem, he said he didnt mind cos he was not taking drugs. This weekend he was out at a gig with friends and the next day i tested him again and it came back positive for cocaine and Benzodiazepines, he swears someone must have spiked his drink as he didnt take anything. He had told his friends i was drug testing him, so his friends are not really his friends if they have done this. I said i would tell his father if any test came back positive and now i dont know what to do, my husband will knock him black and blue, please help i dont know what to do, i am out of my depth.

I have a very controlling mother who has had a lifelong agenda of finding fault with me as a son and a single father of 12+ years now. Most recently I discovered that my mother had taken my 12 year old daughter to AA meetings, because “she needed to accept the fact that her father is an alcoholic”. I am not, nor ever been, and my daughter was taken to several of these meetings w/out my knowledge or permission. Is this legal to do w/out obtaining consent?

How long will it take him to feel good if quitting cymbalta, clonazapam, suboxone, cocaine, alcholol, xanax and oxycontin, how long will his withdrawal be?
He is in a medical detox but I could only afford ten days and I am thinking he will need more then that with the amount of things he is coming off, I am just worried because they do not seem to be worried about it but I think he needs longer

My nephew has suffered alot. My brother left him when he was 5 years old. My brother wants nothing to do with any of his kids but that is another story…anyways his mother is an alcoholic and drug addict and has neglected him ( no food, has left him at school til 6pm) you get the point…well he is now staying with me and my daughter, but i have noticed he lies alot, pretends to not know things, and is very manipulative. What should I do!!

Have you used Paxil? Has it helped you? Has it harmed you or someone you know? Is there a general consensus on the benefits/risks of this drug?

My grown son is an alcoholic, his Dr. finally put him on antabuse. He was doing great BUT he found away around the antabuse. Yes he takes it every morning BUT through the Internet he found “helpful hints” on how to not get sick while drinking and taking the meds. I’m so angry at him and I’m just about at then end of my rope. I’m so afraid that this game he’s playing with the antabuse will cause him to have a heart attack or much worse. I guess I just need some advice.
Thanks
