[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 674332, member: 1963"] It was the benzos and alcohol that made her pass out, and frankly, she's damned lucky to be alive. Your daughter has a serious drug problem combined with a lack of knowledge about drugs, a potentially deadly combination. Nobody spiked her drink. She took too many pills and too much alcohol and passed out. The passing out is actually the part I'm concerned about as depending on the benzo dose, she would've blacked out first and basically been awake with no awareness of what she was doing (or what was being done to her) I would cut off the money for college immediately and pull support. She isn't going to succeed at college partying like that. This isn't a case of having a "few too many drinks". This is a case of heavy, intentional drug use combined with heavy intentional alcohol use. MDMA is the active ingredient in Ecstacy (assuming the pills you get are the real thing). MDMA is also known as "molly", and is sold as a white, crystalline powder which is snorted or in rare cases used IV (needles) The benzo was most likely alprazolam (Xanax) as it provides what is considered to be the best "HIGH" and is easily available on the street. The amphetamine good ol' Adderal. She's circling the drain and must be gotten away from both the drugs and the people she is using them with. My suggestion would be to get her into rehab any way you can. Meanwhile, figure the money you are providing towards her education is providing her with a place to do drugs and people to do them with, and any money you are providing directly is going towards drugs. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but I've seen this so many times. Be grateful to the Uber driver who saw her blacked out, realized what was going on, and called the cops who called EMS. Hugs to you, this is a very hard thing to deal with. Luckily she is very young, and has a chance if she can be gotten a way from the drugs. One thing to be very aware of is that she may have a benzo addiction. That can happen in as little as a month. Benzos MUST NOT be stopped without medical supervision! Withdrawal from benzos without medical supervision can cause seizures that can be FATAL! It is MUCH worse than withdrawal from opiates, which is a miserable thing to go through, but not lethal and over with in a week or two. Benzo withdrawal can last months and requires the use of medications to manage the symptoms of withdrawal. [/QUOTE]
