whats wrong with my mom? (suboxone?)

[jonnydoe206]

Im a 20 year old living with my mom and feel like recently within the past 2 or 3 years things have gotten much worse so im looking to seek help.

She had back surgery about 7 years ago and i know she was on oxycotin. i know it was hard for her to break it and the doctor put her on suboxone. she has been on this plus prozac for the past 5 years or so and it seems as though its sucked everything out of her. she is always falling asleep sitting down and does nothing but go to work and come home and sit on the couch watching TV and falling in and out of sleep like some sort of zombie. she will even try to light cigarettes and falls asleep with them lit or while lighting one.

I cant describe it as well as i wish i could, but she just isnt there anymore. empty at times even.

Her condition has progressively gotten worse and she has numerous bottles of thees suboxones laying around. Ive tried to ignore it as best as i could and I feel as though its starting to build up stress on me and would like to know the other side of things. Not from the mother son point of view that i am perceiving them at. Another thing that scared me is ive always seen a piece of tinfoil about 6x6inchs. It looks like its been handled alot and theres even parts ripped off.
I know people smoke oxycotin on that so i looked around in the garbage and coulnt find any pieces that were burnt. Ive seen it there many times but ive always just assumed it was for glamour or something.

If anyone can relate to any of this or help me with any of whats going on it i would love your input. I dont really know what type of answer im looking for but anything you have to say would really be appreciated during these times..

You need to check into this further. She doesn't need "numerous" bottles of Sub.  Only one.  Is her name on the bottles?  

The first thing is to talk to her about this. Share your concern. Offer to help.

5 years is a long time to be on Sub.
