hydrocodone withdrawl and psychotic symptoms

[rickrubio]

my son is comming off very heavy doeses of hydro and other drugs, pot, lorazepan- off and on many years.. he has gone into a psychotic state, seeing and hearing things.. being very paranoid. is this uncommon?? thank you.. he is 26 years old..

If you are saying he is having psychotic behavior that does not sound (to me ) as something caused by withdrawl .Slight  paranoia is one thing highly paranoid is another .There may be an underlying problem that he was using the drugs to mask ? Do you think that is possible.

Is he seeing a doctor and/or therapist?

What OTHER drugs?  Opiods, Mushrooms, etc..  Some drugs (I have heard) do cause hallucinations, etc.. when coming down.  I think your son needs to see a doctor who specializes in multiple addiction withdrawals.

I can tell you that the lorazepam, is a drug best NOT stopped cold-turkey, but not sure how much he took of that either.

Good luck with your son, but your question is a difficult one to answer due to several unknowns.
