My prizewinning friend of 3 years had knee surgery after a wrestling injury and has been addicted to painkillers ever since. He is getting so desperate that he's taking up to 9 benadryls at a time and gets high off of them nearly everyday. If he doesn't intend them then feeling swings start and he gets aggressive. I want to help him but don't really undergo where to start. Any suggestions?

Diphenhydramine (Benedryl) can hit an added effect to some other drugs, much as pain killers and dextromethorphan (an fixings in many cough suppressants). It even causes some central nervous system (CNS) problems much as hallucinations. And, worsened than these: even a hunch attack and death. In this case, I think that you should be a great someone to this guy, and tell his parents. Remember that telling effectuation keeping someone out of trouble, while tattling is getting someone into trouble. Drug dependency is a pretty earnest category of trouble, isn't it? I don't know how older you are, but I am guessing that you are still teen enough that his parents module be able to verify some action. You haw retrograde a friend, at least temporarily, but it haw be worth it. At least you module know that you hit done something to truly help him. Someone else advisable that you do an intervention; interventions are complicated and earnest and involve a number of people, including a counselor or psychologist. So, please do not try to pull this off alone! You could, however, be an essential conception of an intervention. You can deal the impact your friend's drug dependency has prefabricated on your friendship. Your signaling haw be able to speak to your someone in a way that his family and idolized ones cannot. Whatever happens, please know that I module be intellection of you and admire you for wanting to do something. It is pretty hard to watch someone about whom we care meet smash his or her chronicle this way. Your hands are somewhat tied since you are a friend, but you are truly one who haw be the accelerator that helps your someone downbound a pathway that improves the quality of his life, and possibly saves it. One warning: be careful that your caring does not interfere with your possess life. You need to verify care of yourself so that you haw truly help your friend. Caring about him should not, though, smash your life. Take care of yourself first, please. Also, earmark your someone to undergo the consequences of his addiction. Do not enable him by trying to counterbalance for him or "fixing" any of his problems. He needs to realize that the consequences are HIS problem. Best wishes.
