I have a now ex boyfriend age 30 at home with mom who buys hismethadone before that suboxone and previously oxy contins. he has entered a clinic for detox and arrived on maintenance after 7 months. he hasnt worked in 6 years and yet his mother purchases his perscription methadone 50mg buspar 30mg and cylexa anti depressants pharmaseutically by three diff docs. on top of this she also pays through the blackmarket for his klonopin ativan xanax whatever he can get typically 2mg klonopins enough for 5 pills a day sometimes taken as one dose. she herself ia perscribed some sort of barbitol apap caffeine barbituate for migraines which she hands out whenever he whines about one thing or another. how dangerous is this combo and what can be done to stop her aiding his slow and lethargic death not to mention with a bill like that to foot she has to be using as well, right? oh and i forgot to throw out there there is a rx med marijuana habit topping 400 dollars a month. the mood swings the anger and the depletion of these two co dependants have been fast and furious since her monetary leniency has taught her it is easier to give than to hear his addict cries of wolf. i personally think they shouod both be in jail as im aware of the class of drugs under their wing and possibly being shared amongst fellow users. i had no idea for years until he had to take to the clinics. what can be done?
It's dysfunctional,toxic,very sick; there's pathology all over the place from co dependence to enabling (which is the same thing I guess) but there's so much secondary gain for these two it's just a mess!
I'll tell you that the Methadone, benzo, and barbiturate will kill him one night. I'm sure his tolerance is very high but I'll tell you: with the barbiturate,the toxic dose can be far less than the dose you need to take to get high and that right there is deadly.
None of this is good for you so stay away or you'll get caught up in this nightmare...
