If a person is addicted to pills, any type of pill, does it make them violent? This is the first itme I was introduced to a drug addict and he lives with me and my children. For the past 2 days when he comes home all he does is sleep. He is too tired to eat, wash, clean up, acknowledge the kids. And then some days he picks the dumbest things to argue about and it is scary because I want to protect my kids. Is this man dangerous? He is either taking methadone pills but I am pretty sure its percocet. Help!!!!

My son, who has been addicted to drugs for over 13 years, has gone many times with sleeping all day,then not being able to sleep at night along with not wanting to clean himself up and during that time frame was using oxy's and vicodin. He is currently in a inpatient rehab and has been clean for 3 weeks. Please dont allow yourself or the kids to be in harms way. He needs help. Good Luck to you and your family

I have encountered different situations throughout my life that involved loved ones who take pills. Zanax definitely makes you sleep, but they also make you forget your actions or words. If you get a point to speak to him when you feel he is sober ask if he remembers certain things from the times you believe he was under the influence, if he tells you no, its probably zanax. In regards to you feeling it could be methadone, I have a loved one currently prescribed to be taking methadone, it does not make you angry, it actually makes people very mellow, if you take to much it can make you "nod off"/appear to be sleeping. The downfall of the anger is that most people who take drugs repeatedly will become angry or testy or even depressed as they start to lose the feeling of being high. It does not matter what drug they take, if the feeling is going away or even if they are waiting to get high again, these things could be where the anger stems from. If you feel that you or your children are unsafe I would follow your gut instinct!
