[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 495321, member: 1550"] Hi there. I am so sorry you are going through this. I also am wondering if he is taking more than pot. When our kids start to steal, that usually means they are taking harder drugs and stealing to pay for them. Unfortunately, when somebody is mired in drugs, they are no longer honest...often not the kids we raised. My daughter, who is an ex-addict, told me, "Never trust a druggie. NEVER. Everything they say is a lie." She should know. Nobody lied better than her and she could turn on the waterworks and make us feel terrible almost like a skilled actress. in my opinion, I feel it is dangerous for your son to be on Xanax, which is highly abused and one of the street drugs kids like to take. It can help if it is used properly...but when our kids are in the drug culture, they seldom use the drugs the right way. Chances are that no medication is going to help his depression if he sabotages it with other substances. I would really wonder about any psychiatrist that gives a person with a drug problem a medication like Xanax. There are a lot of other medications that can be used for anxiety. My daughter was a hardcore drug user. She started at twelve (yes, twelve) although we didn't know it. She progressed to coke and meth and even tried heroin a few times. She did quit...it has been eight years now. There is always hope. BUT...they quit when they want to and are motivated to quit. Nobody can force them to. Have you ever gone to an Al-Anon or Narc-Anon meeting to help yourself through this? [/QUOTE]
