so, here’s what happened yesterday ... my son 28 has been prescribed adderall and dextroamphetomine when he was in college to help him focus ... everything seemed to be going along fine, he still continued taking these after college and it helped him at his job. But, he had built up a tolerance and so had been taking more than he should have per day.
So, yesterday was reckoning day... he hadn’t slept well for 3 days, had thoughts that people were conspiring against him at work, thought people were following him ... anyways, my son called me crying from his boss’s office that I need to come get him and that he is needing help. So, I picked him up, he was crying again, then suddenly, as soon as we left the parking lot, he stopped and told it was part of his plan to throw his conspirators off, then next thing I know he starts sobbing again ... and telling me to watch what I say because we may be bugged ...
Anyways, I felt absolutely helpless ... all I could do was comfort him and try to keep him calm.
So, my question ... how do I proceed here ? ... his doctors office isn’t open on the weekend, he doesn’t want to take any adderall or dextro again , but what happens if his cold turkey isn’t a good idea ... how much, if any, should I give him if he starts having withdrawals ... and ... this is my major concern, do you think he has always been bipolar or did the prescriptions push him into it
