In reply to Re: abuse of dexedrine (dexeamphetamine?) need help.., posted by Janice on March 13, 2000, at 23:34:15
Hi Erin and Janice,
Thanks for your replies...I love this babble web site and feel as though there is always a helping hand within reach (even from as far away as Australia!)
My friends son may be into more than she thinks, (or have other problems) as his behaviour is quite bizarre at times, he hits himself in the head, is causing trouble in his school classes and his school work is going downhill at a rapid pace. There is a bit more happening, but too much to fit into this post.
Perhaps he is combining the dexies with something else and this is causing these dramatic changes in him? Anyway, I will pass on what you guys have posted. I didn't find out too much on the web, so went to see our local Pharmacist and he was very helpful with information. Also, the Health Dept over here has a drug info service and I will pass all this onto my friend - she is not thinking too clearly at the moment and is totally immersed with worry for her child, otherwise she would be looking for answers for herself.
Janice, you mentioned 'self-medicating' - does that mean he may realise something is wrong with him and he is trying to help himself? Guess that might be a silly question, but I am not sure what it means?
The weather has finally cooled down a bit, which is a relief. I think wistfully of places like Canada and all that wonderful snow!
Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Deb.
