Unhappy Is my BF abusing meds?

Hi,

I came to this site in hopes of finding out what all these pills are my BF takes. I know they are all prescribed for what he calls "dual diagnoses".

My concerns started after dating 6 months and he started to sleep all the time. 12 hours a night and then naps in the day. He also has glassy eyes with red rims and slurs when he talks like he is drunk.

Why is it a person needs so much medication? He is on 5 Thorazine a day. 3 200 mg Seroquel at night and 3 Doxepin to sleep. Also Prozac and Propanol and a thyroid med and stool softner.

I am having a hard time with seeing him all drugged up and this was not how he was when we met. He says his meds have not changed.

Anyone have any suggestions? I am tired of dating a zombie.

Larrk

Yeah, take off running and don't look back, those are very heavy duty anti-psychotics, he's mentally disturbed to be prescribed this. Please don't feel it's your duty to help him through this, spare yourself misery. No doubt he's a vegetable.

Default Thanks!

CatsMeow,

Yes, Sadly this is what I ended up doing. Sometimes it's better to walk away and sometimes to run.

I'm not a doctor but thanks to this site I was able to look up the medication and ask here.

Thanks again,
Larrk

You did the right thing Larrk.Nothing against the guy but the last thing he could probably handle would have been a relationship.Good luck on the next one......Dave
