My best friend text me this morning to tell me her middle child found something on the daughters snap chat that I needed to know about. Daughter borrowed her friends phone last night while spending the night. Apparently after everyone went to sleep daughter and her friend began mixing "lean" or "purple drink" and posted it on snap chat. If you don't know what this is, it is sprite, jolly ranchers, and cough medicine(with codeine) all mixed together. I'm glad my friends kid told his mom who is close enough to me that she told me. I'm lost tho in what to do with the daughter. She is playing a dangerous game of mixing medications that could kill her. She is on seraquil to stabilize moods, which it is doing. She also takes focalin xr 10mg daily for ADHD. She is in therapy 5 days a week for partial on patient treatment. She never fails to get busted doing stupid crap like this, but she keeps trying. We are now going to have to lock up all medications whether they are prescription or OTC, because I will not give her easy access to it in my house. We will no longer be able to allow her to spend the night with anyone and I won't allow them to come to my house. What other precautions should we consider or take? I will be telling her therapist this today to get his take on it. I know even non difficult teens pull stupid stunts like this, but with her being bipolar and on medications this is more serious than a typical non difficult teen testing the limits.
