[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 559801, member: 3419"] Welcome, wtf. I am so sorry about your son. First of all, you have to get him off of the drugs. Do whatever you have to do; in our case, I had to drive our difficult child everywhere and monitor his every move, totally strip his room and even yell at his druggie pals on the phone. In the end, it culminated in my calling the cops on my own son. Best thing I've ever done. You need random drug screening. If you can get your son to cooperate, do it at home. You have to stand in the bathroom with-him, by the way. If he won't, you have to get someone else involved. Also, Prozac is not a good drug for bipolar. It can be used carefully, along with-other medications, but if he is truly bipolar, then you need lithium or something else in that family, and an antianxiety medication. Was he always ADHD, even as a tiny kid? I need to know how much of this was caused by the street drugs and how much is genetic. He is self medicating because he's got underlying problems; that's my armchair quarterback comment for the day. :) [/QUOTE]
