Sounds like oxy or some sort of pain pill opiate. I use to itch with those, but not so much with heroin. The pin dot pupils are a for sure sign, and definitely nodding off.

Yes. Scratching and pinpoint eyes are for sure signs. So is noddong while talking. Speed people would be trying to talk your ear off. Its some kind of opiate it sounds like.

sounds like crystal meth to me.  They scratch alot and have sores on there arms, legs, neck and face. They are usually up alot and then finally crash.  They are also very paranoid too.

Sounds like it's time for an intervention --- be strong -- buy a test kit from any drug store and have it ready for him.  If he takes it you will know for certain -- If he doesn't take it you will know for certain --- yeah, either way.  Wish you all the best and I am sorry you have to go through this at the Holiday time.  GBU.
