Concern For My Brother
Updated
Precious Says:
My brother is 37 years old. Throughout his childhood, he has experiemented with different types of drugs. A few weeks he had a manic episode threatening to kill the family and himself. He was arresested and he was sent to a hospital that kept for a week. From he says, all he has been taking is his prescribed Xanax 2mg sometimes 3 a day, which was prescribed. He was saying he wasn't addicted, but I know he has been taking them for years. After a week he was sent home. Twenty - two days ago he was arrested not for drugs, but a misdemeanor. Well he didn't have those pills of course for a few days after his arrest, he threatened the family and himself again while in jail, then getting two battery charges on him while in jail. He has been going threw severe withdrawls and it's been 22 days now. He doesn't remember threatening us , just like he didn't remember last time and he didn't know why he has two battery charges on him. I am just wondering can an addiction to Xanax cause all that, or is it something else he may have been taking?

Honestly no, it doesn't sound like Xanax although the sudden withdrawal from Xanax can cause problems. This sounds more like Bath Salts, these new street drugs and possibly Methamphetamine. Was he not evaluated? He should be evaluated again, and if a danger to you or the family or anyone else including himself be admitted into the proper faculty which is not Jail, at least yet.
Was this helpful?
