ecstasy and xanax....

[ambernicole1989]

a week ago my friend took about 3 xanax then took extacy then took more xanax and drank some hydrocodene and while doing this he was drink beer. and since that day me and a few other friends have notice a different person in him. his eyes dont look normal they roll back in his head hes been talking really "slow" and not making much sense. i will talk to him and a couple of minutes later he will ask me what i had just said. he is not the same person he used to be and i have nknown him for about 12 years. and he has been addicted to xanax for about 4 years. he was just recently about 7 months ago in icu for 3 days because he overdosed on xanax. im just really scared there could be something permently wrong with him. do you have and idea what it could be ?

yeah cut out the xanax for SURE! tell him to get off the xanax!!!! i was an opiate addict, and i REALLY hit "bottom" when I started mixing xanax and other benzos into the mix.... xanax to me make you extrmely stuped and take you IQ and cuts it in half....then it takes you memory and erases it for you every 20 minutes so you ask the same questions or tell the same story over and over since your memory is so shot....xanax almost killed me WAY more times then injecting opiate alone or anything!! GET OFF THE XANAX PLEASE!!!

It sounds like your friend is a multi-drug user, so you can't pinpoint this as being all xanax related...there are opiates involved here too. All of these drugs your friend is taking is messing with their SSRI system. Your friend needs professional help, and a good friend to help them through getting off these things. It's hard, but if they continue down this path, it will only get worse and lead to more damage. I wish you both the best.
