[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663728, member: 18958"] I would not rule out opiates. At least I would consider the possibility. I have been with people on opiates, such as heroin, and they are like this: He is selling you a bill of goods, I think. They would not have arrested him for a DUI based on a Xanex a few days ago. I have taken this medicine. I work in a profession, I drive. I think this is also a smokescreen. And this, too. He is making up whatever lie he can hoping you will buy it. If this was the case, he would have been taken to the hospital by ambulance. Was he? At least half of the kids on this board do this: And this is one reason why they do: WSM, you have no clue about what is really going on. Right now you are scared. Any mother would be. But until you have clear information, you need to pull back. Any monetary support you or your mother are giving your son, is likely fueling a drug habit. He may be selling drugs. You need to face that every dollar of help he gets, given without conditions, could help him self-destruct. No car. Never. He should have been reined in at this point, and money cut off: First thoughts: If it were me I would insist on a full panel drug test now. If he refuses, I would cut off all support, immediately. Period. I would also insist that he see a Neurologist (to rule out head trauma) and a Psychiatrist and Psychologist to figure out what is going on. I would insist on immediate drug treatment. Based on his own words he is misusing marijuana and xanex. There is likely more. That would be a start. I would strongly rethink his living independently without oversight. I am so sorry this is happening to you. I know you are afraid. I have lived with the suicide threats and my son tells me of attempts. If he makes a specific threat, call 911 immediately. You will get through this. Keep posting. Stay with us. You will get real help and support. Take care. COPA [/QUOTE]
