Welcome. I agree that she is abusing meds. I really dont have any advice on how to go about confronting her. The only thing I want to add is about the adderall. I have an adhd son and I cant imagine that a doctor anywhere would prescribe it for 'tiredness'. I am also confused about prescribing a med that makes you sleep to help a condition that causes bouts of sleepiness. Not to make the situation worse than it already is but I get the impression that she gets these meds delivered through the mail... are you absolutely certain that her doctor is prescribing these meds. There are still online pharmacy's out there in operation. They have started cracking down in some states and sometimes only on some meds. Her doctor wont tell you anything but maybe you could tell him that you are concerned that he is prescribing 'med A', 'med B' and etc. Maybe he is not prescribing all of these. That probably wont help her or make her want to get help... nothing will make her get off these. She will not do that till she is ready. But it might be a legit (sad how we look for legit reasons to do things) reason to stop paying for these meds.
