My friend has lost it, I'm worried about him. This is going to be a big thread, but please read through and see if you can contribute knowledge.
OVERVIEW:
Last night, friend took an unknown pill (white, circular, "101" imprinted on one side, no other markings - and no, it did not say "a101"). I tried using epocrates and other lookup sources and could find it nowhere. He had taken 6 the night before, and was told they were "hydrocodone and alprazolam". Never heard of a pill with that combo.
Friend drank some alcohol of unknown quantity, then proceeded to rave and snorted some MDMA from a trusted source. More alcohol was ingested after.
Later, friend found a source for more MDMA, and went out to her car. It appeared to be MDMA, and he insufflated it. We go back into the rave and dance and all, then leave 30 minutes later. He reports that the stuff he got was "bunk", and that he didn't know the girl.
As we walk to the car, he begins acting paranoid and looking all around. I tell him all his fine, but he is worried that he was sold fake drugs by a narc. We get to the car and head on our way home. He seems to not be under the influence of anything, and is coherent and fine other than being very paranoid. During the drive, he becomes more and more suspicious of being followed, and insists we pull of to "see if they drive past us". Of course, there's no one even behind us for a mile, and they drive right on by.
To cut to the chase, the whole drive is peppered with him pulling over and when we finally get to my car, I have him follow me to my house. No more than one minute after leaving the parking lot, he pulls onto a side street and I - being frustrated and thinking he's just being "too paranoid" - keep on driving. I text him my address since he has a GPS. When I get home, I call and no answer. I pass out for 2 hours and wake up to a frantic call from him explaining how there's "tons of 'em" and they're all following him. I eventually get him to pull over and have me come meet him. 2 more hours go by before he answers my call again, and he's out in the middle of country roads. He finally comes back to a place I can meet him at, and I hop out to ask him to "point out one of the cars to me". He points at a parked Honda Civic on the side of the road. I run up to the car, look in the window, and of course no one is there. I bounce up and down on the hood for laughs, but there's just no convincing him. We go home, and he points at all of my neighbor's cars insisting they are "them". He remains totally coherent and has no other hallucinations or delusions, I should add - just this persecutory delusion. I explain that I know everyone who owns these cars, etc, etc. He paces in my room for hours, and finally I give him a horse's dose of Kava Kava so he'll go to sleep. I wake up later and he is gone, back to his apartment in a burg outside of my city (about 45 minutes away). He calls and says "they followed me to my apartment".
And on and on this goes. I finally got him to his parent's 2 hours from where he lives, so hopefully they can figure out what to do. It has been 14 hours now since he took any drug, and there seems to be no improvement.
OVERVIEW OF DRUGS TAKEN:
- (alleged) hydrocodone and xanax
- alcohol
- MDMA
- (alleged) MDMA
QUESTIONS:
1. Does anyone have a Pill ID on: white, circular, "101" imprint on one side?
2. Could this be an acute psychotic break and triggered by opiate withdrawal (I know little about this phenomenon, and would appreciate more info)
3. Just generally: What the hell is going on, and how can I help my friend??
Thanks Bluelighters, it's good to have this resource to turn to.

It started with blank flashing figures, and slowly formed into agents as the psychosis got worse, now they are 99% gone. But when a car comes by... I'm thinking 'what an ominous engine hum. I bet its an undercover cop and he's looking right at me. Terrible state, I have a lot of sympathy for your friend.
