[QUOTE="witzend, post: 413389, member: 99"] That could be a lot of things. It could be withdrawals if he is going cold turkey. The general consensus on addicts is that because they avoid emotional growth by abusing drugs their emotional maturity gets stopped at the age where they begin abusing. So, if your son was 12 when he started (not unheard of) and used for 8 years, at 20 he could still have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old. How old is your son? Has he ever been diagnosed with any mental health or emotional problems? Where is he living? Does he work? Does he go to school? Did he quit cold turkey? [/QUOTE]
