Question

She's acting real crazy. It's like she's a toddler all over again. Touching things, picking them up, twisting the top of bottles as if lids were on them and smiling and laughing. She's non responsive unless you really enforce what u are trying to say. What is she on? I need help because when I'm sleep and she leavs out this door something will happened. She's just wandering around the house piking things up and just smiling and laughing. She's acting JUST like a 40 year old toddler. She's eating wrong she even tried to eat a napkin with a fork. She's a tad bit drowsy .. Help me.

I would definitely call an ambulance for her. They will check her out. They can take her to the hospital and observe her to make sure she is ok. If she took something they will figure out what. And tomorrow when it has worn off then hopefully she will listen to reason. If not at least you will know what happened.

I agree with all of the above replies, and would also be curious to know how old you are, and how old your Mom is?  Do you have any siblings?  Is it just the two of you living in the home?

PLEASE seek help from another trusted adult, or heck, call an ambulance if you have to.  There's clearly something going on, and it's impossible to guess what it could be.  Does your Mom have a history of drug abuse?  

You're in my thoughts...please come back to post, we're all concerned!

You came to the substance abuse forum so I assume that you are pretty sure that your mom is using drugs and that these issues are not being caused by mental illness alone.  The effects you describe can be caused by a class of drugs called hallucinogenics which includes old drugs like PCP and new sythnthetic drugs.  If she hasn't gotten better by now, try to get her some medical help.  As some of my friends have said above, it would be helpful for us to know your age, so we can suggest the best ways of going about getting her help. Please keep us updated. So sorry you have to go through this. God Bless.

Does your mother have a history of substance abuse? It's hard to say what she is on, or if she is on anything. These also could be symptoms of a serious medical issue such as a stroke. I would get her to the ER ASAP just to be on the safe side.
