I have a guestion about pills.

A little background: My son is a drug addict and his drug of choice is pain pills, muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety....Xanac, Oxicotin, Loritab, etc. He also has used Meth, which he injected. He said he had even injected Oxicotin. This has been going on 6 years and he had has numerous Overdoes (with no vital signs) been in 3 rehaps and jail several times.

I know he will not quit until he decides to quit and I do not enable him. This morning when I was putting some things away I ran across some pill bottles. There was some Prozac, Prilosec and Toprol. They were in bottles with his name on the label but were not the medication named on the label. He has no conditions which call for any of these pills.

My question...are these drugs that an addict could use to get some type of "feeling?"

Thanks
Linda
