What are "Blues"?

Hi,
I believe my sister is addicted to blues, she used to be addicted to xanex after a nasty marrige now she is with a new guy who i believe is giving her these blues i dont know what they are, i confronted her about doing something and she denied it saying she would never lie to me and one night i heard her and her bf fighting and they mentioned blues. she has been very isolated from me her family and her friends, shes always with him sometimes acts weird and is losing weight again, she lost weight when she was on xanex. Can someone help and tell me what these are? What should I do? I have proof i saw texts on her phone about getting blues. Thanks Everyone in advance!

100% sure "blues" is the term used for xanax bars around here, my friend likes them, I'm in north central PA.

Hello and welcome to the forum.. from your description of your sisters past with the xanax and what is happening now.. she is once again in active addiction.. if it roxies xanax valuim whatever it is still a addiction.. You have the choice of going to your family and telling them what you know and she then can be confronted.. many women fall in with addicts and in turn become addicts themselves.. keeping it a secret only allows her addiction to grow.. although she is the one that must want to get clean a lil pressure may not hurt.. it was a good suggestion to check out alanon as it is a organization of family members of addicts and you can glean some good advice on how to deal with your sister.. I'm very sorry you are having to deal with this as it is never easy to watch someone you love fall to addiction.. I wish you and your family well.. lesa

Blues are xanax footballs(.5mg I think) and lortabs(10mg). I don't know much about the oxy/roxy family.

the only drug i have ever heard of as refered to as a 'blues' is roxy's.  never xanax.  bars, peaches i have heard these names for xanex.  

there is no way to know exactly what drug she is referring to unless you ask her...so ask her...

but i have a sneaking suspicion she is talking about roxy's
