Can You Tell Me What Drug My Sister Is On?
Question by Jennifer: Can you tell me what drug my sister is on?
My stepsister is on drugs. I didn’t see her, but the symptoms I was told she has are : sores all over face, extreme weight loss, hard time speaking, dropping things constantly, and then the hardest to describe is a sort of muscle problem. I was told that she kept talking with her head to the side and her arms were constantly moving almost like muscle spasms and I guess it almost looked like she was autistic or some other retardation.
Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Depression?
Question by Ali: Alcohol, drug abuse and depression?
I have a younger brother who is 21. He had gotten mixed up with drugs and is now living at home with my parents. It seems that he has substituted his drug use with alcohol abuse. He has gotten VERY violent with my mother and threatened her. Last night he tried to kill himself, but wound up shooting a hole in the wall. My mom is trying to find someone to help him and everyone is telling her that he has to check himself into rehab or therapy due to his age. We live in Colorado. Does anyone know someone we can call in Colorado who can help him. He is not in his right mind and will not allow himself to be checked in anywhere. We love him and want him to be ok and I am VERY worried about my mother as well. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks.
