[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 679451, member: 15032"] Colleen: Good luck to you. I'm in the same boat with my son who is 20 and takes 2 classes. He suffers from anxiety and depression and has self medicated on and off for years. He is now seeing a psychologist for "talk therapy" which he is doing because he says we force him but I don't care. He's only been once so far but it's a start. He has been on Effexor for a while and says it helps but obviously does nothing if he smokes weed, drinks and takes a pill. I had tried to get him into rehab after his last "episode" with substance abuse but he doesn't want to miss school (has 2 classes and doing well) and that's his only positive so like you, we let him continue and hope he turns it around. It's been five years for us of on and off good/bad behavior and it's exhausting I know. He is back to his old self now but thought we were way past this stuff. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
